What's this all about?

My name is Olivia and I am a student of Indiana University. I have lived in Indiana my entire life. Also, I can count the amount of times I have ventured outside of the U.S. on one hand. Even more unfortunate, I would say that these endeavors outside of the U.S. can be boiled down to nothing more than a van ride to the all inclusive resorts and cruise ships that I have seen the world through. Thankfully, my view of the world is about to change. I will be studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain next semester and I have created this blog for all my family and friends to share in my experiences while I am living in Spain. I hope that you are able to authentically take part in my journey throughout Spain during this next semester!

La Plaza de España y Más

Here are some more pictures. We walked around a lot today again. It's really hot here. Sevilla has extended my humid and sticky Indiana summer by almost entire month. I believe that it will be worth it. I ate tapas and drank sangria in Spain for the first time last night with my group of american students that are studying abroad here in Sevilla with me. I am starting to know my way around but with all the tiny streets and the tall buildings it becomes confusing. We also visited the Centro today. Which is basically where all the government buildings and major shopping areas are. It would be comparable to downtown Indy. Except, no offense to naptizzle, but Sevilla is a lot prettier. Enjoy the new photos! And don't forget to subscribe to my blog via email on the main page. This way, every time I post cool pictures, you will receive an email notification!

There is a different painting on each tile section along the bottom of the entire plaza; each is a painting of different cities in Spain

  1. Just so everyone knows, all the photos of the Plaza de España do not do it justice....at all. Definitely the coolest thing I have seen since being in Sevilla

  2. Absolutely gorgeous! You can see the Moorish influence in the architecture. Beautiful photos.
