After doing a warm-up with a group of 6 of us, I was explaining the workout circuit and a man approached us and asked (in very broken english) if one of us could take a picture of him. Then he asked if we spoke Spanish-- which we said yes to and I then took his phone to take a picture of him.
He was wearing workout gear so I asked if he wanted to join us for a fun workout. He said yes! Well, this meant that I had to explain the workout circuit in Spanish!! (Too bad I never learned how to say: squats, push ups, planks, or flutter kicks in Spanish class...so this is where the demonstrations started!) Eventually, I just told him to follow my lead. His name was Gianmarco and he was from Sicily, Italy. He studied abroad in Sevilla in 2006 (making him probably around 30?) and was back in Sevilla for the week to visit some friends!
He was impressed by our workout group and although we didn't get that much conversation in, because we were sprinting or out of breath, he seemed like a really nice and interesting guy!
It was cool to have a foreigner join the pack! I have tried multiple times to get some Spanish friends to come to the work outs but 9AM is just wayyyy too early for them!

Workout team with Gianmarco!
