Last minute planning

I'm finally done with exams and that is a HUGE relief! I can't believe that I only have one more set of exams to go before the semester is over.

All week I have been making last minute plans and getting everything ready for SCOTLAND.

We are leaving tomorrow bright and early (our flight leaves at 6:30am eek!) We're hoping that the rain holds off while we're there. I know that's a lot of wishful thinking, but we're hoping to bike around while were on the Isle of Mull. (We have ponchos to look like true tourists :D)

I've been trying to upload a video this week of my house but it won't let me. Unfortunately I don't have any people who know much about computers around to help me. I'll keep working on it though once I get back though.

Semana Santa (Holy Week)is HUGE here in Sevilla (the biggest in all of Europe apparenlty). It's all anyone talks about. I'm going to be back in Sevilla on Thursday (jueves santo) to see the biggest pass of the week. Apparently the whole city stays up all night. Lots of the cathedrals have either huge virgin statues or huge Jesus statues and they are carried by 30 men from their church to the main Cathedral of Sevilla and back to their church again. It's like every church has it's own mini parade with all of the people dressed up like their in the KKK. I'll put up pictures once I see it. I've seen movies and pictures, but I'll get some up here so you can enjoy the festivities :D.

Also, in anticipation of Semana Santa, they just opened the metro (they've been building it forever) and its the talk of the town. It's free today and yesterday so everyone is lining up to give it a try. My senora went yesterday and was so excited about it. Especially because it goes under the Guadalquivir River (5 seconds... she told us all about it). Super cool. haha

I hope you all are doing well. I'll be sure to give you another update once I get back!
