Celebrating my birthday in Triana! 

My sweet roomate Kellen got me flowers for my bday!  
My professor surprised me and took the class out to get cake for my bday. 
¡Feliz cumpleaños a mí!


Another procession for another Saint..not sure which one 
If you're good you get an ear.  
If the people like the bull fighter they wave hanker-chiefs...if they dont like him they whistle.  
There he goes...dead... this happens six times.  There are three bull fighters and two bulls to each bull fighter.  They sell the meat in the markets the next day and those proceeds go to orphanages.  I'm not sure how I feel about bull fights.  
Now they are just kind of waiting for him to collapse and die.  Then they stab him in the head and pull him out of the ring. 
This is right before he stabbed him with the big curved sword which goes straight to his heart.  
Then the bullfighter comes out and puts on a show and sizes up his bull. 
Basically these guys jab him a bunch with little swords in the back to lower his head before the real bull fighter even comes out. 
Pobre toro : (  before the bull fight started- btw this is the first time this animal has EVER seen a two legged animal.  They are fed and worked with on horseback 
Alicia and I in Córdoba 

I had been serious in the Mezquita for so long so I chased some birds around outside afterwards 



I have officially fallen in love with family crests.  I have a whole series of pictures on them but I figured I'd just put one up.  
My conversation professor! Mario... he's a hoot 



Córdoba- this is the Mezquita (mosque) these pictures dont really do it justice 




This is a park right across from my families apartment-  This is where I've started to have my quiet time its beautiful 

Close to the Cathedral

Flamenco dresses--- they were like 10 pounds but fun to wear!
