Meeting new people

I finally met some new people! Being in such a tiny program (of only 5 students), meeting people is hard to do. I owe a big thanks to my college friend Karen for remembering that she has a cousin studying in Sevilla this semester. She got us in contact and we hung out today. It's wonderful meeting a fellow choir/music nerd over here. I met some of her friends after we hung out for awhile, and they are also very nice people. We're probably going out later tonight, and then tomorrow I have rainy day plans with someone who I hung out with last weekend. It's nice to finally have company and to fill up my schedule with social plans. Now that I have people to explore the city with, I think this semester is going to get a lot better.

  3. On behalf of my mom:

    Ariana,
    It's good you're meeting some new people!

    Do remember that most of Spain's Jews left (voluntarily or not!) in
    1492 - the Spanish Inquisition. However, I did find this listing on
    the web:
    Communidad Israelita de Sevilla
    Jewish Community of Sevilla
    Calle Bustos Tavera 8, Seville

    Notice that it's dated 2006. But I'd still call/write & see if you
    can go for Purim. Or Pesach. Or both!

    Have fun!
