Mi Casa Es Su Casa

My house is your house:

The Spanish saying is true here. When I walked into this home, Virginia told me this and that I should treat this place as if it were my own home.

Since today wasn't too exciting, just finished my essay and studied for my exam that's tomorrow, I thought I'd do an entry on my home.

I live in an apartment in a part of Sevilla called Nervion. My section of the city is basically known for the shopping center. There is a big mall/ plaza about a 10 minute walk from my apartment with many clothing stores and restaurants. There is also a Corte Ingles (basically a Macy's) pretty near by.

Just me and Virginia are living here, but it's a pretty big place for just the two of us! There is a kitchen, living/ dining room, three bedrooms, an office, and two bathrooms.

I really like my bedroom; I've got TWO twin beds and a wonderful closet!

Also, side-note about today: I am finally starting to understand the city! I was so proud of myself for being able to navigate through the tiny streets in el centro without getting lost!

Sorry for this quick post, gotta get to studying! but I've attached some pictures below to give you a better idea of where I'm staying!

The Apartment!



The beautiful living room. The table with the blue tablecloth is where we eat. We sit on the couch and sofa chairs and put the blue cloth over our laps because there is a heater under the table. The apartment is generally pretty chilly!


The kitchen! This is where I eat breakfast and prepare my PB&J sandwiches! Also, this is where Virginia does the laundry! There is a clothes washing machine right between the oven and dish washer. No dryer though-- ALL clothes are dried the old fashioned way...hanging on the balcony! Not sure if I want everyone seeing my underwear...but that's how they do it here!


My warm and cozy bed!

And another bed in case I decide to switch it up!

The most amazing closet ever. I'm in love.
