I finally received my host family information yesterday! I have a host mother and two older brothers, Alejandro and Javier. This is a complete role reversal for me and it will be interesting to live with boys. Javier is 22 years old and is also a student, so hopefully he'll be able to show me around! The family also has two pets (hopefully dogs) because I told them I was allergic to cats ;)
The description of the house sounds nice; it's brand new, really close to downtown Sevilla, and a short bus ride from the university.
I also received my itinerary for my first week in Spain. Mitch and I leave Minnesota the afternoon of August 30 and after a short stop in Amsterdam, we arrive in Madrid on the afternoon of August 31. His program starts that day, so I am meeting up with one of my friends and we plan on exploring the city for a few days before our program officially starts. My tentative first week itinerary is:
September 2-Meet group at hotel, panoramic city visit by bus in the evening
September 3-Visit el Museo del Prado and el Palacio Real
September 4-Visit el Valle de los Caidos, travel to Toledo in the evening
September 5-Tour of Toledo
September 6-Travel to Sevilla, meet my host family in the evening!
A couple of my friends are in Spain already and they say it is absolutely gorgeous so I am anxious to leave! More posts to come . . .
