Well, there’s not really much to report on this week, since it was only two days long. That’s right, only two days of class. Now that is my kind of schedule. We’re currently chilling in Sevilla (or Seville, as we say in English), but I’ll get to that in another post. In my spare time this “week,” I went to visit El Real Jardín Botánico (the royal botanical gardens) in Madrid and saw Pirates 4… in English. Yes, I know I should be watching it in Spanish, since I’m here to learn Spanish, but you basically lose all the wonders of Johnny Depp if you do that. Then the movie would not have been worth seeing. Eh, it was ok. Mildly entertaining at best. I would wait to Redbox or Netflix it. And that’s all I have to say about that. You’re not reading this for my movie reviews. You’re reading this for my Spain reviews. And let’s be honest, I’m a much better reviewer of Spain than of movies.
So these gardens. They’re full of trees, and flowers, and dirt. You know, normal garden stuff. Ok, so they’re full of very pretty trees, and flowers, and dirt. Oh, and they had calla lilies! That made my day. Other than that, I don’t really have too much to tell about them. Our group went on its own (free on Monday, after 6:00 PM, for students!), so we didn’t have a guide or anything to show us the secrets of this garden. We just walked around, enjoying the foliage and taking lots of cheesy pictures, because that’s what you do in gardens I guess. I’ll let my pictures do the talking.
