It never rains in Sevilla, but man...

...after a month of total dryness, it pours and reveals how poorly constructed the city's sidewalk and streets are as the water sits in dips creating 2 feet wide puddles six-inches deep that one must walk through to get to the bus stop.

I really haven't had much to post about lately that I've felt like spilling out onto the world wide web.

I am finally better and went to the gym yesterday.

This week our school is having Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant that is specially preparing a traditional Thanksgiving meal (for some reason the teachers think carrot cake is traditional, but I won't argue). And like most of you, I don't have school Thursday or Friday, so stop feeling smug.

The boyfriend of one of the girls in the program is visiting and he proposed Friday.

I miss you all.

Rats! We thought we were special getting Thurs & Fri off -- and people here really need the break! Mitch and I will be hanging Christmas lights on Friday! Oh, and you will be dismayed to learn that 99.1WMYX has been playing Christmas songs 24 hours a day since Halloween. Sorry you missed it :).

Why don't Spaniards celebrate Thanksgiving?

Is it because they didn't make friends with the Indians like we did?

I would rather have it be raining and pouring and be running through puddles than have it be 28 degrees like it is here.

But alas, I am still wearing flip flopies!

Tyler - Those old shoes of yours are still here, so if you'd like to replace those flip-flops...:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Haha, I love carrot cake, I envy your "traditional" Thanksgiving feast.

I'm sorry it's pouring where you are. We just got 2 inches of snow in Whitewater. I know 2 inches is practically nothing in Wisconsin, but I'm excited because it's the first snow fall.
