Kelly on our first day of school--in the castle they CLAIM to be an old tabacco factory, but who really knows.
Katie, Lindsay and Amber--look how tan we are after 4 weekends in a row at the beach. suckerssssss. :o)
Kelly and our Spanish friend Luque at Tex-Mex where we enjoyed a little break from Spanish comida and watched some American football
Cool picture of the bullfight in action
The procession at the beginning of the Bullfight with all the matadors dressed in their colorful fighting gear
La Plaza de los Toros- a.k.a. The place were the poor bulls die.
Gorgeous view of the riverfront
Lindsay, Amber and Isa hanging out at a Flamenco Bar to watch some authentic Spanish dancing
Brenton, Katie, Beccah and Kelly making a toast to our Spanish adventures...
Lindsay, Amber, and Ashley during the wine tasting...I think you can tell from the picture that we were all a little disappointed by the taste, but went for it anyway.
In one of the rooms in the bodega, there were barrels assigned to members of the royal family...or at least that's our interpretation of what the guide said at 763 words/min (in spanish)
Cool picture of the barrels....
Amber and Lindsay at the famous Domecq bodega and vineyard in Jerez de la Frontera! We were surrounded by barrels of wine, some up to 240 years old! (and we could totally smell it fermenting...)
Isa, Kelly, Lindsay, Jorge and Amber lounging out at Club Catedral--our new favorite place to go on Wednesday nights!

Ok so it was realllly windy and scary to stand on this rock--Kelly is a real trooper--she's standing on the southermost tip of Europe, in a skirt.
Basically, Amber is sitting on the southernmost part of Europe with Africa in the distance---wowwwwww.
A little candid of Katie and Kelly documenting the trip video--something else to look forward to when we get back, friends!
Morocco, Africa! An incredible view from a mountain top in Tarifa.
PILOT WHALES!!! We saw tons of them on the 4 hour boat trip! They are actually the biggest species of dolphin, but no one has to know. We also saw bottlenose dolphins and the blowhole of a fin whale!
Kelly and Amber basically touching Africa...I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but if our arms we're just a little longer--we'd totally be there.
Tarifa, Spain- Holly, Lindsay, Amber, Kelly, Brie( from Nebraska for Amber's fam, kinda random) and Katie! Here we are waiting at the dock to board the whale-watching boat in the Strait of Gibraltar!
Botelloning in the Park- this is when the Spanish youth go buy drinks, cups and ice at the grocery store and then all meet in the park to drink cheap without having to go to a bar! We went with our new Spanish friends and there were probably 1000s of students out! A crazy and way fun experience-something they only do in Sevilla!
So Katie likes to be random, here she is posing with the fun guitar playing hombres in the street--they have live music in all the streets here, we love it!
Christie, Katie and Amber walking through the gardens with the group--by the way, I think we walk like 5 miles a day.
