Day 1, Sunday January 21:
This was my first full day in Seville, Spain!! An absolute blast! I started to get to know the other ISA students better and saw some amazing sights.

2. Cathedral of Seville
3 - 9. Inside the Royal Alcazar

18. Katy and I stopped at Toc Toc Tapas for some lunch!
19. Katy and I went to our closest station and figured out how to get a card and ride the Metro!
20. After hanging out at home for a while we had dinner!
21. Our host mom came out and was making us speak and practice our Spanish ahaha.
22. Katy and I went to get a sweet treat at an ice cream shop. Fun fact: literally everything is closed on Sunday (even Mc Donalds). On our way back from NOT getting ice cream we ran into a burger shop, Goiko, that was open. They happened to have a dessert that was pudding/mousse/ice cream ish and it was sooo good.
That was all for day 1!!!
