Taking on Sevilla

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!

My First Two Days in Sevilla

So after all the traveling, the screaming children, the airplane food, and the very uncomfortable...and creative... sleeping positions we have arrived in Sevilla. Pilar made us food and then we napped. And then we woke up and got ice cream with our group. Sara and I live in the neighborhood called Triana. This neighborhood is directly across from the Guadalquivir river. There is a bridge that connects the Plaza de Cuba to the City Center, or the El Centro. Here are some pictures from the flight and some views from my new home with Pilar and Sara.
