It was awesome to feel that amazing feeling even though I'm in a different country and don't understand the language hardly at all. The church is true no matter where I go, and it was an awesome reminder.
Later we went to a palace called Real Alcázar. It was so beautiful and I could feel there were many many stories within those walls. The details in every little part outside and inside of the building were so beautiful and intricate. When we went into the garden, one of the professors mentioned that he felt that this garden made the botanical garden look tiny, and I agreed. It was so beautiful, peaceful, and big. I felt that I could just take a book out there and sit under a tree for hours, or just lay on the grass and take a nap.
After that, we broke off into groups and some of us went to Plaza España. I geeked out a bit because that is where a scene from Star Wars was filmed. I also got to try and row a boat, and it's a lot harder than it seems! After we explored, our group was hungry so we stopped and got dinner. A little confrontation because they brought out an extra dish that we didn't order and they wanted us to pay for it. Luckily it was resolved.
Then we went to watch the flamenco dancers. I had never been to a show like this, so I wasn't sure what to expect. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but as the show progressed I started seeing the beauty in the singing and dancing. I couldn't understand any of it, but I loved the guitar music, and I could tell that the dancers and singers were very passionate about sharing their stories. It's one of those things that I probably wouldn't have done if I had been on my own, but I'm really glad I went.
