Orange Trees



It was very wet again today. I left this morning without my rain boots and my shoes and pants were very soaked. I went to the University of Seville to listen in on a class. I'm pretty sure I won't take it. It was an art history class but I don't have enough background and I didn't understand everything. I was so glad to get home and have warm soup and take off my wet shoes!

So along the streets of Seville there are orange trees. They told me not to eat the oranges, because they our sour. Apparently the city owns the orange trees and uses the oranges for marmalade. A few days ago I saw workers picking them during my walk to school. I think this is so clever of the City of Sevilla!

It is supposed to rain all week, much to our dismay.

  1. does it ever snow there?? Is it more uncommon than in GA?? I bet all this rain is bringing some beautiful spring flowers. I heard a Valentines quote by Mark Twain. " love is the irrestable desire to be desired irrestably" I believe it's true, although not as encouraging as the love of God portrayed by the wonderful gifts of His love and His spirit making his home with us.

  2. I had soup today too! This is really big, for me. I went with my grandma to Olive Garden, and got the chicken gnnochi and the one with potato and kale and sausage...something. Mmm, soup, salad, and breadsticks!

    Other than that, I showed KC and Sammy my cute new bra, but you'll just have to wait. ;)
