SHEILA and the City ;-)

=======================================

PS

Anyway.... I should get going. Siesta, ¡sabes! Tonight me and three American chicks are gonna go out for tapas and drinks (yesterday I had 2 sangria´s and 1 or 2 tinto de veranos, so that´s not so bad, considering we started at 8pm and didn´t stop until 2am).

After all these tapas (first bar: one tapa, second: one tapa, third: three tapas and sangria) we went to a supposedly v. famous place: Casa Anselma. C/Pages del Corro, 49. They dance, they sing, they play the guitar. It was soooooooooo cool. This lady Anselma is pretty huge (the word Flodder came to my mind...) but can sing, oh la la... There was an old guy singing, and a younger guy (one of the musicians doing solo´s). It was awesome. It was packed when we got there, but three old men said to go in (you here for the flamenco? go in, go in!) I was like: "eh, where?" Totally glad K. dragged me and the other K with her into that bar though. Just looking at the crowd (they look so alive and so HAPPY) was the best.

Ugh... Already picture myself going here with Latte Guy. Shoot me, I´m terrible. I know. Just know of a few pueblos near Cadiz now, that are not in the Lonely Planet (hurray!) but are truly amazing (if I believe my landlady - I do, and I saw some pics on the net). Anyway, Sevilla is so much fun. I can totally picture us here. Ah, I enjoy dreaming, so why should I not?? If it doesn´t happen, that´s alright you know. I´ve had the fun of picturing us here, that´ll do. I need my dreams, bugger off. I don´t care as much (yet) if they come true yes or no. It´s nice to have things to pursue, to look forward to, etc. etc. etc. Blablabla... Yada yada yada.

I guess it´s time for my siesta, haha. I´m late as it is. Anyway, as you could read between the lines: Sevilla is great. Grab your lover (or just your bag) and go there someday. Here you go, I´ve offered you a dream.

Bye now!!!

PS Tigra, saw you´ve been posting, so gonna read it all when I´m back!!! And Comicgrl, we ARE gonna go for that coffee with Tigra babe. PPS Have you been posting loads as well? Cool, loads to catch up on.

¡Buenas dias!

That is just so funny. I was on msn, wrote a Spanish friend I was in Seville and going to Granada this sunday. He texted me about an hour ago: he´s going to Granada... this weekend too! V. funny. He´s working in Madrid, got a house in Granada. So I´ve cancelled the first two nights of my hostel and gonna crash at his place. Geez, it´s been 4 years since we´ve seen each other. Well, we never even kissed (I never even flirted with him) so I think I´m pretty safe - that is, I don´t think he´s got any thoughts other than tomar una copa (para mi un cafe, mucho mas mejor que un copa). A ver... es a decir (??), me gustan los tintos veranos! Ha!

Anyway, he´s gonna pick me up from the bus station this sunday afternoon, and on tuesday I´m going to this hostel. Tried to cancel it in Spanish. Well done: I wrote Jueves when I meant Tuesday. Jueves = Thursday. Luckily J. (friend) is gonna give´m a call, explaining I f... (beep) up.

Today in class was FUN, we learned how to swear in Spanish - I asked for colloquials, haha. Funny. We had a different teacher, I´m SURE our ´regular´ would not have considered doing that, not for a mo!

Lunch was fun, more and more people hooking up with us each day, haha. Weather... Oh... Yesterday afternoon, around five? 37 degrees!!!! Celsius, yes, indeed.

I´m eating tapas, tapas, tapas. For breakfast: a shake (Herbalife, been eating that for breakfast and after sports for ages), at 11am una tostada con jamon cerrano y aceite, cafe con leche y un vaso de agua. A las una (1pm) un o (como hoy) 2 tapas. Today at one I had a tortilla espanola and a salad with fresh sea food. It´s the best, I tell you that. Yesterday we ate five different tapas for dinner. We=two American girls and me.

Ohh.... I´m having fun alright. And the funny thing is, last night I slept for only 5 hours, and I´ve never felt better (well, this week that is). Vale, I´m gonna press the hit button, see if it´ll publish it all.

¡Hola guapos!

Don´t know how much time I´ve got, it´s a computer you´re only allowed to use for half an hour, and you gotta write down your name, stuff like that (which I didn´t do, not for this time slot, that is).

Sevilla is very VERY cool. The weather.. wow. The people. The FOOD! Oh la la... Gonna gain loads of weight ;-) Lo siento! Haha.

Anyway, does anyone know of a good hostel in Cadiz? Coz I've got to move this sunday, and I don't know where yet. I'd rather not sleep on the street (i know, my jokes still suck).

Hmmmm.... Already long for - oh bugger, let's not go there. Hope you're all doing a okay. Como yo, no! Vale. Adios, y hasta luego. Tengo que dormir, por que ahora es el tiempo de siesta (como ya he escribido, lo se). Hasta pronto!
