No Limits.

Seville, Spain, a city in the southern part of Spain about 7 miles in circumference when comparing it to a circle. On the map however, the main part of the city is shaped like an egg. Each step taken is on cobble stone and each street is the width of a small mover’s truck. It is summer time everywhere in the northern hemisphere of this world, but in Seville, as soon as you walk out of the door you are breaking a sweat as if you were just leaving an intense boot camp class at the gym; that is an understatement. The sun slowly begins to go down at about 10:30 pm while in America, it is 3:30 in the afternoon and the girls are out getting sun kissed by the pool and the boys are joining them for a taste of eye candy. Siesta is my favorite part of any day in Spain. Lunches are big and your food coma follows.  At night it is a lot cooler and the people are ready to P-A-R-T-Y. The street lights illuminate the skyline and the tranquility is livened up by the Spanish chatter at the bars, no matter the day. 

I do have to say, I would not be here if it weren’t for the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s love. Every day I was blessed to see another day which brought me closer to the long plane ride to this magnificent country. I still cannot fathom the thought that I am here, sitting in Mama Amalia’s apartment, overlooking the city. I’m blessed and very thankful for this opportunity.

I’ve been here for a week now and I absolutely love this country. It might help that I can speak Spanish, but it’s something I’ve never seen before. Until July 30^th I will be studying the beautiful Spanish language. My wish is to completely emerge myself into the Spaniard culture and to experience as much as I can. There are no limits. My mind is hungry for new knowledge and life-changing experiences.

Over this past weekend, I’ve gotten the chance to explore the history of this city with my new classmates. We went on a stroll, yes a stroll, to the largest gothic cathedral in the world. The architecture of this building is wonderful and the detail was extraordinary. I have never visited a cathedral; this is my first but hopefully not my last. The fact that I can just walk to a historic place and learn something new is an amazing feeling. I wonder how the locals feel about living in a city that is important to time.

Not only do I get to learn about history but I, as mentioned before, will also be perfecting my Spanish. Tomorrow is the first day of our intensive summer course. Am I ready? We’ll see. Can I conquer it? Positive.

From this day on, I will continue to share my adventures. Live it up! And Thank the Man above for each day you wake up.

Love,
Caroline (The Girl Seeking Her Future Spaniard Husband)
