Buongiorno Espana

So I didn't have time to actually write out this post but many people were curious about how I finished my break so here it is in note form. It may or may not get transferred into full sentences, it is kind of funny with all of the spelling errors and short hand, enjoy!



  1. Leaving at 3 am was an unavoidable adventure
  2. Crazy tel aviv airport
  3. Stupid got to rome- had a good cappucinno thank goodness
  4. Then said going barcelona whoops bag already sent- knew it was trouble
  5. Got to sevilla fine (great shopping barcelona airport)
  6. No bag, sad
  7. Went to H and M- power shopped really good, ended up keeping the stuff good price
  8. Saw rachel- tapas- salmarejo so good!
  9. Got early start, weather was nice, cloudy but still mild
    -Alcazar- first muslim palace then christian - distinct style
    Palm trees
    -gardens- peacocks everwhere!!
    Rachel then took me to the places that were formally Jewish, very little trace, made me appreciate italy, even if the jewish community isnt thriving the traces are still there
    Went to museo bellas artes- surprised myself that I could understand most of the stuff in spanish
    Really funny seeing an american college group on tour, felt weird they were very loud
    Saw some famous stuff learned about distinct sevillan style
    More tapas!
    Palazio de Labrija- basically on old villa really cool mosaics- could definetely see difference betweenspain and italy, also some collected that dated back to roman times
    It was pouring, shoe shopping, when to another neighborhood bought some beautiful ceramics
    Lunch- goat cheese with marmalade on it- to die fo r
    Came back wachted How I Met your Mother, love it now
    More tapas! And more rain

    Nicer day
    Home of Maimonides
    Went to synagogue, again different than in Italy not as magnificient but still really cool
