Spain

A few days after we arrived here in sevilla, a teenage girl went missing. Please do not be alarmed because it was a HUGE deal, something like this that is unfortunately common in American is outragougus here. Nothing like this has happened in Sevilla in modern times. It was ridiculous, every where you looked there were posters of her, all over the news, newspapers and even a march was held. Today, the ex boyfriend admitted to hitting her on the head with an ash tray and throwing her body in the river, so terrible! Where I live is right next to the justice building where is hearing was held today, when I got off the bus there were huge crowds and tons of news stations waiting to catch a glimpse of him. My friends and I waited for 10 minutes and when he came out everyone started yelling and screaming, “MURDER!” it was so intense, it was even crazier for me, the fact that I saw this cold blooded murder, I actually saw him, hands in handcuffs and his head down being quickly escorted by the police. I only see these types of things on tv back home. It was just outrageous, the whole scene.

today i signed up with like 18 other people from my program to go to Morocco! I am so excited to go, when else will i get the chance to go here! i saw pictures and looks like so much fun and quite an experiece. Here is my itinerary
