Catedral de Santa María de la Sede (16 febrero)

Today, for the second out of our three intensive period classes, we took a tour of the Catedral de Sevilla, which is only a five minute walk from our school! It is the third biggest in the world, after Saint Peter’s in Vatican City and Saint Paul’s in London, and at the end of the trip we climbed to the top of the bell tower, which has ramps instead of steps because they used to go up on horses!

This weekend, I’m looking forward to going to Cadiz for a Carnaval celebration. We’re leaving Sevilla at 6pm and we return at 2:30am!

The rose windows make rainbows on the opposite walls!
I love the architecture!

Reliquaries are awesome but creepy.

  1. I hosted my new site from powweb, and did a little work on it, then I downloaded joomla and I am navagating through joomla trying to find how to upload my material from powweb? I tried to get into powweb website maker and it doesn’t work… obviously because I downloaded joomla. Now, I also can’t access joomla from powweb, I have to go to the joomla website.
