¡Hey Padres!
Today was a really fun day, as all of them have been! We started out this morning’s class going over the (immense) amount of vocabulary we have acquired so far. The winner of our vocab competition was Jack Hannon! After our morning break, we returned to class where the cultural topic of the day was everyone’s favorite thing: food!
After that, we continued to work on a play we are writing about Susona, the daughter of jewish conspirator, Diego Suson. When the text was finished, we were assigned roles. My roles (Mary Karasek) were la chica and a dead conspirator and my roles (Courtney Berger) were Christian and authority we are performing Friday. After school, we had our picnics that our parents packed us then met in the plaza by the cathedral. We toured the church and went up 40 ramps (!) to get to the top of La Giralda (the tower, the 2nd highest point in Seville)
Then, our tour of the cathedral, we toured la juderia, or the jewish barrio and learned about the history of said neighborhood where the jews were confined a long time ago. During our free time tonight, we (Courtney and Mary) went shopping and got ice cream (which Spain is Really good at making) then returned to our house for a dinner of pasta and yogurt.
See you soon! M&C
