interesting things

1. Driving/parking- Apparently it is completely normal to double and triple park/block people in here in the small streets, and then if they are blocked in they just honk until someone comes out and moves their car. Also, people often leave their cars in neutral while parked in case another car needs to parallel park and needs more room, they can just bump the car out of the way. What?? And when cars turn, there's not really lanes, they just all try to go at once. Although I have great driving skills, I'm glad I don't have to drive here!

2. My walk to class- I miss the OSU bus that I used to take everyday right outside my house up to campus, but I see some pretty cool things on my 30 minute walk to school!

first-my walk at 8:30 at puente san telmo

passing the cathedral

and finally down the little street that leads to school

3. Evening runs. Everyday they are perfect! In the morning it has been pretty cold, but it doesn't get super cold at night so it is the perfect temperature to run around the river a few times.  Yesterday we saw a movie being filmed under puente triana!! And today that bridge was lined with flowers everywhere, but I haven't figured out why yet.  The worst part - running on the cobblestone is kinda difficult!

Pictures from tonight:

4. Today was my last day to eat chocolate and icecream since I'm giving up desserts for lent :(((( 

5. A "tortilla" here is really an omelet

6. Guys love to stare everyone down...creepy

7. There is a guy that plays music on the street across from the cathedral and his props are little spongebob cutouts that dance

8. We no longer need to use the space heater at night!!

9. On the bus to Cadiz, we met people from London we will get to meet up with when we visit!

10. I'm going to Africa on Friday?!!!

Well there's a ton more but I can't think of them now, more later!
