It's been a crazy awesome last couple of weeks! We got to experience the last days of Semana Santa in Sevilla after returning from Holland, and returned to school, dragging our feet on April 9. That Friday, we had a school field trip to the ancient ruins of Italica, very cool, but indeed ancient ruins...which seem to look like a lot like rocks after a while. :) We were still very glad for a short week of school and the opportunity to see another place in Spain. The next day, we packed our bags with three of our greatest friends, and headed off to the number one thing to see in Spain, the Alhambra in the city of Granada. This was a really fun weekend because we were with our friends and got to experience one of the greatest constructions in history. It rained both days, but with our wet, stinky shoes, we walked all over the city and got to experience some amazing views:

Although we have been traveling lots, Kerianne and I wanted to catch you up on our life in Sevilla. Maybe you haven't been able to tell, but we love this city. We thank God everyday that we are here living in Sevilla with Blanca. That woman. What a lil nugget. :) We have so much fun with her, and wanted to make her something special that we knew she would enjoy. We decided to make her dinner on Tuesday evening. Not just any meal, an American meal.
Here is what the meal consisted of:
Fried asparagus and onions, and mashed potatoes!
And, the best meatloaf of your LIFE!
This was the first time that Kerianne and I have had any of these things while in Spain, which poses as a problem if you know my slight addiction to any kind of potato. Anyhow, the whole meal was a huge success! Blanca loved it, we loved it, and even our dog Vita loved it. He whined until Blanca finally gave him a piece of her meatloaf. Not only was the meal a success, Blanca surprised us with our "American" desserts, BROWNIES! We went to bed that night stuffed, and so pleased.
Life here is flying by, and we can't believe that we have less than a month left! Day to day life here is just as wonderful as all of our travels. We start another journey tomorrow that is bound to be tons of fun! Tomorrow through Tuesday, April 24 we will be in Dublin, Ireland exploring and hanging out with Kerianne's family. From there, we are flying to Paris, France! We have our maps, lists of things to do, and clothes all packed up ready for another set of travels!
We miss you all and absolutely can NOT wait to see you! Summer is just around the corner. :) Keep us in your prayers as we will be doing a lot of traveling soon.
Love you,
Emily and Kerianne
