Fran or Ted??

Hola mis hermanos...you wouldn't believe who I have met here in Spain! He is the spanish version of Ted Mosby from HIMYM. His name is Fran (short for Francisco of course!) and he has been my guide for orientation. Fran is 28 years old, and ARCHITECT student and single in the city. It is funny how much he reminds me of Ted.

Ted on the right and Fran on the left. ¡Qué similar! 

This brings me to the list of things that remind me of home:

1. Fran/Ted bring me back to the 4 seasons of HIMYM I watched over break with Grace and Nick

2. La Calle de San Jacinto--in Triana there is a central street lined with shops and cafes. Total State Street look-alike, just with more of a European feel

3. My freezing room---no central heading in this Spanish apartment! While it gets to around 60 degrees during the day, at night it is more like 35 and having no heat has been interesting but I have been sleeping like a rock because my room at home is practically an ice box. 

4. Monolo, el hombre de mi casa, SNORES! It is just like having Missy in the room next door. But he is capable of watching television without falling asleep and shaking the house with his snores so I guess it is a little different :) 

Registered for classes yesterday and I am so excited. For the next few weeks I have an intensive session where I will be taking a culture and history class. For and hour we  are in the classroom and then the rest is out exploring Seville with my professor. Once real classes start there are no classes on Friday which leaves opportunity to leave Seville and hop around Europe. ¡Qué bueno!
