I did a Spring Semester Program with International Studies Abroad (ISA)
The Semester lasted from January 30th-April 30th
Throughout the semester, I took classes as Menéndez Pelayo International University– a school for foreign students.

The program started in Madrid, Spain. I met up with all of the ISA students
for the semester, and we stayed in Madrid for 2 days.
We visited El Museo del Prado, El Palacio Real, and other sites in Madrid.

We moved on to visit Toledo as we slowly made our way to Seville. In Toledo, we visited the Cathedral of Toledo, an ancient synagogue, and posed with statutes of the artist, Velazquez.

I started off getting acquainted with my new apartment on Calle Francos, located in the El Centro part of Seville (downtown area).

After all of my trips and three months in Seville, it was time for me to return back to the U.S.
I boarded a plane back in Madrid, and flew back home to Manhattan, KS.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I hope to someday visit Seville again!
