Sorry I am still catching up on last week's activities, but wifi here can be difficult. Last Saturday we went to Osborne's Wineries. While at the wineries we took a tour of the facilities and learned how they stored and processed the wine, or sherry. We were then given the chance to taste four different types. Unfortunately, I can't say I really enjoyed any of them, as they each had a distinctive taste such as that of a thick syrup. Regardless of the taste, I really enjoyed the tour and thought it was a cool experience. I also got to talk with a couple from Australia who have been traveling around Spain and suggested a few places to visit like Ronda (which I did visit and will have in another post). Saturday night most of us on the program went to the Seville vs. Valencia soccer game. The stadium was incredible and everyone was very invested in the game, so it was a lot of fun to watch! Outside the stadium there were people with face paint, so most of our group had our face painted with a red line down the middle. However, when we got inside the stadium we realized we were about the only people with face paint and therefore easily identifiable as Americans. On Sunday a bunch of us went to the beach in Portugal. The beach, Sao Rafael, was beautiful and it was so nice to just relax all day (even though I came back with a very nice sunburn, which I still have). Overall, it was a very busy weekend, but a lot of fun! It is still amazing to me how much I have seen in only 2 short weeks, ranging from a bullfight to going to Portugal for the day. Here are some pictures from the weekend!
