Day Three

Time to move into our homestays!  I found out I am living with a sixty (ish) year old couple named Dionisia and Antonio.  We live in the neighborhood Triana, which from what I can tell, is the oldest and most classic of all the neighborhoods.  People are proud to live here, and are extremely nice.  We live in an apartment on the 4th floor, basically in the middle of everything!  I've never lived in the city before, but thus far I'm loving it. I'm a block and a half from the closest coffee shop, about half a mile from the grocery store, 30 minutes walking from school, and four blocks from the gorgeous Guadalquivir river.  My apartment has marble floor that is beautiful and yet so cold you can't help but wear shoes, three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a dining/living room.  There is also no central heat, and the only heater in the house is kept under the kitchen table (which sits next to the couches where we eat).  The table is covered in a thick long tablecloth which keeps the heat in, so that when you sit to eat or watch tv you can pull the tablecloth/blanket around you and be warm.  Oh, and did I mention that there is a window in-between my bathroom and kitchen.. its in the shower.

Picture of the day: it only seemed fitting to have a picture of my room!
