Marmiga!

The last weekend in March found me traveling to Sevilla by myself.
I spent Friday wandering around Sevilla and taking in the gorgeous sunshine. That afternoon I got on a bus headed for Aracena, a town in the foothills of the Sierras and home to my friend Mar.
Mar was the native Spanish speaker at Whitman for two years. She lived with me in La Casa Hispana my sophomore year and is my Spanish sister. She is currently working as an assistant and translator at an Australian owned copper mine in Aracena. I spent the entire weekend with her, meeting her friends, cooking her dinner, going dancing, and watching movies. It was the perfect weekend to be away from Alicante and enjoy feeling completely at home.
I'm hoping to go back to Aracena when my program ends in June.
Me in Sevilla!

Me and Mar!

Mar and the wonderful group!
