El Sol También Se Levanta

I spent the months of June, July, August, September, and part of October touring and studying in Spain. My goal was to become fluent in Spanish, I was reasonable successful but need to keep up the practice. Regarding the title, before arriving I read much Hemingway and hoped to experience similar capricious escapades that he so fondly recounts in his novels. I think I was successful.

Romans and Coffee


Per a recommendation from my dad I took a brief visit to the city of Italica just a few kilometers north of Sevilla. It´s amazing that almost anywhere you go in Europe, or every place I´ve been, there are Roman ruins, their empire was massive. For scale, they were nearly as big as Starbucks.

Hey Will, good to hear you made it to Seville...I would like to slip in a recommendation for southern Portugal--they have great beaches, cheaper prices (at least when I was 8) and plentiful food sources. Also, if you're a real man you'll go across to Tangiers and take the night train to Marrakech--more food sources and frugal living. Anyway, thanks for all the great updates--despite my lack of correspondence I am enjoying hearing about your travels...take care.
