MICAYLA 

WHAT A DAY. Today I met up with Alvaro and Lorea to see the pasos for Semana Santa. I assumed that we'd be standing on the streets amongst the crowds, standing on our toes to try to get a glimpse of the paso as it went by but BOY did I think wrong. Instead, we were ushered into the seated area to enjoy the processions from comfortable, shaded area, brushing elbows with the privileged people I had just been envious of 24 hours before. As if that surprise wasn't enough, we ran into my professor Salva, his wife and his friends in the seated area as well, so obviously we took a selfie together. It was cool to see the processions from a more convenient location and to experience Semana Santa in a way that random foreigners who come to visit during Semana Santa rarely get to do.
