Sevilla!

Aqui estoy! Greetings from Seville. I'm sitting on the 2nd floor of one of the many language schools here in the City Centre of Seville, surrounded by hundreds of tiny winy alleyways leading me to lose my sense of orientation in minutes. It¡s quite nice and sunny now but the nights are still very chilly, brrrrr, need to wear my thick pajama and woollen socks and a fleece jacket. Yes, I am very sentivive to cold.

On Sunday afternoon we arrived at Malaga airport. The weather was fantastic and even Malaga was looking pretty as what. But as soon as the train started the 2,5 hours climb towards Seville the weather changed into rain and coldness - our little faces went apart from sleepy also to mildly upset. The marvellously green Teletubbie-styled hills disappeared and the endless tunnels and flat fields started or at least that was what we guessed to see through the thig fog.

We spent the first night in Spain in a flat of a Spanish lady in Triana quarter but that was not too nice place for a longer stay in my opinion. I prefer a little bit more privacy and a little less scarily waving bunk beds so yesterday we changed into a student flat just 10 minutes walk away from here.

I have already enjoyed a granizado in a floating terrace on the banks of the river Quadalquivivir (not sure about the spelling), couple of nice cold Cruz Campo beers, the best pizza in Spain ever and some tasty tortilla. The thing I am deeply missing is my poor old laptop - in the last minute I decided to leave it in Helsinki, God knows why, and now I am coming to notice the Cyber Cafes are starting to be as rare and vanishing commodity in Europe as are the Tall Ships, horse carriages and 10 kids families. #%%** how could I be so stupid. Oh well. I can. I can.
