All day Sunday I went on a tour with Laura and her parents to some pueblos blancos (white towns) outside of Sevilla. These are towns where all the houses and buildings are white-washed and it is literally against the law to paint your house a different color. (If you do, you have to pay a fine.) We went around to 4 or 5 or so towns, and they were really pretty. We had to drive a bit to get to some of them, so we got to enjoy the beautiful Spanish countryside along the way.
The tour was only Laura, her parents, me, a couple from Pennsylvania, and two women from California. It was pretty cool because the one woman from California said her one daughter is studying in Guinea right now, and the other is in the Peace Corp in Senegal. So I guess after she isdone in Spain, she is going to visit them.
Our tour guide was an Australian who has been living in Sevilla for 10 years. He was pretty cool and really knew his way around, the towns all had the NARROWEST streets, and he drove through all these country roads that I would NEVER want to drive through.
Not much else is going on besides that. I have a paper I should be writing that is kind of due on Wednesday (my teacher now has given us an extension, although I´m going away all weekend anyway so I pretty much need to finish it anyway for Wednesday), but have I started it??? NOPE. But oh well, I´m just doing like my fellow Sevillanos and relaxing and taking a siesta.

My girl: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Or is it manana? You are more like the Old Man than you like to admit.
it is mañana. i am impressed with your spanish knowledge. maybe you should just be our interpreter when you guys come over ...
Procrastinator to the very end, excellent. And why is everyone from Pennsylvania?? Makes no sense...neither does the fact that I saw another camiseta with Woolrich written across the front. ¡Representa!
I LOVE YOU.
TIS ALL
