the spanish plants have waged a war, and i have lost. i've been going through kleenex like crazy. all of a sudden, i'm sneezing every 5 seconds and wiping the snot from my nose. how attractive an image is that?

i just finished having lunch, well we finished eating awhile ago, but we just left the restaurant. as a class, we went out to il gondoliere, an italian restaurant, as a good-bye gesture for one of the people in class, samuel, this really nice 60-70 year-old grandfatherly guy. it's us, a bunch of young 20 somethings and samuel. it's awesome. he has a lot of latin american vocab that he shares with the class. he's heading to france after class tomorrow and then back to the states.

day after tomorrow, i'm going to sevilla...wahoo. and the weekend after, a drive to tarifa, stopping along different coastal points. our plan is to rent a car and make our way over after our last day of class. i love how we keep changing our plans - because we can.
