It felt like I was going home. I didn't have class Monday or Tuesday, so I spent my 4 days between Sevilla, Estepa, and La Roda de Andalucia. Within half an hour of arriving, I saw pretty much every person I knew in town. On a Saturday in Estepa, there are basically 2 things to do: grocery shopping at Mercadona and having a coffee at Cafe de Venezia (a cafe one block away from my apartment last year where I spent countless hours and euros...) I met up with Molly, Viola, and Kumar for a coffee before going to La Roda for the night/day and saw a few different bartenders, the son of a woman who works at the high school in town that I know, and the couple that owns the fruteria where I always bought my veggies all there in Cafe de Venezia.
It was a weekend of short but intense (in a good way) visits and SO nice.
When I got back to school here in Madrid on Wednesday a couple people commented on the fact that my accent in Spanish seemed more Andaluz after spending the weekend down there. Ha!
The olives in Andalucia are a thousand times better than the olives I've had in Madrid so far.
Here's to friends and long weekends. And Andalucia.
