Flamenco and a sunset

and
Tonight we went to a flamenco show, and it was awesome! The dance is just a small part of flamenco - the music is actually the main component. Just a guitarist and a singer, and the effect is awesome. I am falling in love with flamenco music. Then the dancers get up there and the intensity is just incredible. I really, really enjoyed it! Then we went outside and I took one of my favorite pictures I've taken this whole trip:

That's the tower and fountain that i had pictures of in my last post, and the sky is so blue! The sun was just setting, and I don't know if you can read it but the time stamp on this picture says "22:06." Yeah, 10:00 and the sun was just setting. A bit later I took a picture of the sun setting over the river, and the timestamp on that one is 10:23. It's amazing... so many hours of daylight, and they really take advantage of all of them! Have I mentioned that I'm in love with this culture?!?! :)

Tomorrow is my midterm for my Spanish class - I can't believe I'm nearly halfway done with my time here in Sevilla! Crazy. I've learned SO much about the intricacies of Spanish, and in my other class I've learned about the religion of Spain, the basics of the region called Andalucia (where I am!), a lot about bull fights (SO interesting), and about Spanish food and wine. This totally beats taking classes in College Station, Texas :) That being said, I'm going to go actually study for my test - wish me luck!!
