Tip of the day: Don't take three suitcases on a trip that weigh a half pound under the limit if you are not physically capable of dragging said suitcases all over town until finally reaching your apt.
Ok so maybe it wasn't all over town but it could have been right at a mile, in the heat did i mention... We got into Sevilla yesterday and had some minor disasters at the airport so I ended up having to go to the apt with only our bus driver and the photography professor, who by the way, has stayed at the apts before. We drop of the kids at the hotel and head to the apts, which to my dismay, neither bus driver nor camera guy know where they are. So the good thing is, bus driver just drops us off on the side of the road with our bags and pretty much says good luck. I ask photographer if any of the apt buildings look familiar and the answer is, not surprisingly, no. We begin hiking and i am ever so gracefully carrying all my bags, not sweating at all when I realize that mr. mapquest has no idea where we are. i drop my bags, i mean set them gently on the ground, and make camp under a stop sign while my friend goes for help, (apt hunting). it doesn't take him but about 20 or 30 minutes or so (= appx 8 strange looks) to return and help me get all my luggage and tote it to the apt before i had to leave two minutes later for orientation. i will be posting soon some pics of the lovely artwork that has been provided for me in this house so that you will all be insanely jealous. get ready all you animal lovers.
um so yeah. don't be jealous. this amazing painting can be seen in the 5G Gallery until kate can find a store that sells a good glue stick. until then... all are welcome to see this and many others somewhat like it. i apologize for any envy i may create by having this piece of artwork.
