Today I met the family I will be living with for the next six weeks.  Salud Ruiz is the name of my "señora" and her husband is Pablo and they have a daughter named Maria who is only a year older than I am.  Pablo is very into European soccer and I was asking him if he is a fan of FC Barcelona or Real Madrid.  He said that while those are the most well-known, there are two teams in Seville.  Those teams are Real Betis (which he is a HUGE fan of) and Sevilla.  He said that tomorrow night, Betis is playing FC Barcelona in Seville.  My roommate and I wanted to get tickets, but he told us that they were super expensive and since we are only college students with limited funding, we opted to watch it on TV.
The Spanish have what is called "Siesta Time" where all businesses close from 2-5 and everyone goes home to have a big meal with their family.  Since we are now a part of the family, we got to be included in the meal.  After we ate and unpacked, we had to go to the University where we will be studying for an orientation.  After that, we walked around Seville some more before heading home.  On our way back, we stopped by an ice cream shop that not only sold ice cream, but had shelf after shelf of high quality liquor behind the counter.  It was a combination we had never seen before.  Did the shop serve as an ice cream shop by day and high class bar by night? The answer may never be known, but they're ice cream was delicious!  We went back to our house for the remainder of the evening to rest up before dinner (which is served around 10 here).
