Winery

This has been in the same family for over 300 years. 

This is just to give you an idea of the size of the room where they aged the wine. This is only a small part of it. It was just this long on the other size. I think they said there were over 500 barrels of wine. Each barrel hold like 150 gallons.

300 old working wine press.



Me trying their orange wine. It was really good. Tasted like a soda.

The aftermath of our wine tasting.
These are the three wines we tried. There were so many of us they needed two bottles of each.


Our professor, he did not understand the phrase, just a little. It was barely anything or a cup full.

Steak Dinner

This may have been one of the greatest meal I've ever had. It made me sad when it was over. This are two of my friends, Chris and Corey. Corey's house mom told him about it. This is one of two that she told him about. We are going to the other one before we leave. 
This is how they brought the steak to the table. We didn't know that we cooked it at the table. We looked at each other like, "Do you eat it raw?"


Searing the steak at the table.

Cooking on a cow.

They called it cake but it was a crepe. It was also AMAZING!!!

The formally white table cloth when we finished eating.

Titanic Exhibit in Sevilla

These are pictures from the Titanic exhibit that is in Sevilla till April. They may seem a dark but that is because we, Chelsea and I, were secretly taking these pictures. So we couldn't use flash. 

Chelsea by a recreation of a First class window.

Me by that same window

Trying to look fancy in the First class passage way



This is a view of the Cathedral from the top of a tower by the museum. It is like 200 feet up. It was really cool.

Ronda

These are pictures from Ronda Spain. It is a town about two hours from Sevilla. It is where the modern bull fighting rules were set down. It also holds one of the oldest bull fighting rings in the world. The bridge is something like 900 feet above the valley. 


My friends convinced me to act like a bull in the ring.

The bridge the earlier pictures were taken from. I am still not at the bottom of the canyon.

Shopping and Tapas

Today, I went out on the town with some friends of mine. We walked around and had a blast. The girls don't care about the shoes but the guys do.
