I am finally in Spain!! Most of my flights here were sweet as pie. I started Wednesday afternoon and flew to Newark, New Jersey. I was very surprised to find that I could see New York city from the plane. My flight from New York to Barcelona was about seven hours, and I watched a movie and slept across two seats. The first plane was tiny, only three seats to a row, but this one had seven seats to a row. It turns out that there were three other people from my program on this flight, so I stayed with them for the Barcelona airport. We accidentally went out of security and had to go through it all over again, but we had plenty of time and it turned out okay.
When we arrived in Seville it was 1:00 in Spain and 7Am in the ATL. The CC-CS bus waited for us, so we didn't have to pay for a taxi. That was SO fortunate! We had lunch at the hotel with other American students and then I was able to take a walk around the city with the girls I met on the plane. There is a huge river and tons of bridges. A lot of the buildings look old and grand, so it's a lot of fun. We had orientation in the evening and then I had to hunt all around for internet. Everyone finally realized that you can tap into a wireless network in the hallway beside the elevators of our hotel so there is a group of us sitting here now.
