We aren't even sure who all is reading this, but if you have been attempting to keep up with our blog we have epically failed these past couple of weeks! Lo siento. I'm sorry. Yeah...I kind of speak Spanish. We have been so busy running around Spain AND Germany these past couple of weeks that blogging has been on the back burner.
Here are some highlights from what we have been up to recently though!
Day trip to Italica (Roman ruins outside Sevilla). This is the amphitheater where real gladiators would fight lions and tigers and bears...oh my! The open space in the middle of the arena was where the animals were kept in cages and then raised up.
Catherine's version of a roman statue. We probably weren't supposed to stand on the ruins but hey...it made for a great picture!
Walking around the inside of the amphitheater. This wasn't posed? :)
So happy to be finished after a long 4 hours of class!
Our Spanish family! Anna our sister and Ada our mother. We all went out to dinner one night and got ice cream after. Of course. We definitely are going to miss these two!
Day trip to the beach at Cadiz. Texas doesn't make 'em like this.
No big deal.
Inside the Cathedral in Sevilla. Obviously this picture doesn't capture the massiveness of it but you might be able to get some of an idea!
Christopher Columbus' grave. We salute you. Thanks for America.
This is Chanelle and David Acton and our bible study that we have been meeting with once a week! Chanelle and her family are missionaries here in Sevilla and she has been so sweet to meet with a group of us weekly for bible study. We went to their church where David preaches and have been able to get involved in a few of their other ministries. One of the biggest blessings of this trip by far! We helped out at their church one day with a day camp to teach kids english and afterwards went to the Acton's house where Chanelle made us a full blown American meal. You would have thought we hadn't eaten in a week if you had seen our reaction.
We quickly realized that our spanish speaking skills were about the same as a 5 year old. Humble me oh little ones.
This is Blanca! She was at one point was trying to tell Catherine something and Catherine could not understand to save her life what she was trying to say when all of a sudden Chanelle began responding in German to her! Yes, this little girl speaks Spanish, German and is in the process of learning English...all before the age of 6. WOW.
This was another Blanca! She was dressed up in all red, white and blue and ready to learn english! We were currently working on placing family members on the family tree.
Dear Blanca, may I borrow have your bow?
peas and blessings,
Sarah Beth and Catherine
