Keeping a straight face. Flamenco is a type of dance that originated from Andalusia. It is highly expressive, and the people in Sevilla tend to get really into this type of dance. Flamenco contains a lot of stomping and clapping. The professional dancers, known as bailaores and bailaroras, create a passionate story. To be honest, after seeing an "authentic Flamenco show" I didn't quite follow the passion, and was rather bothered by the length of the mans hair and how he was was keeping a straight face. 

Needless to say, I felt that I was not being fair to this type of dance. If I am living in Sevilla, I figured not only do I need to learn to appreciate watching it, but learn it! So, after seeing the Flamenco show this Saturday evening, my friends and I figured that it was only natural to take a class of our own! Ava, our tour guide on the second day of being in Sevilla told us that she offers a free Flamenco class for students once a month. Obviously, Maddie and I nailed it. 

Pepper the size of my head! On our adventures of finding food around Sevilla, we have found many markets that have fresh fruit and vegetables. Needless to say, not sure how natural this pepper is!

I found pizza in a hopeless place. Thin crust pizza! It is a really good thing I got away from pizza, but I had gone exactly five weeks with NO PIZZA! We went to a restaurant where I decided to "go for the gold" and order it...I'm not sorry about it either.
