my unexpected vacation day

I did absolutely nothing today.  And it was wonderful.

Except that's not entirely true.  I did a lot of looking up practical traveling info for when we leave sevilla.  And it kind of stressed me out.  And I feel like I could spend a fortune in london if I got to do everything I want to do.  We'll see how crazy I decide to go.  I feel like I should be out with the girls tonight, but when it came down to it I was just too tired.  So I decided to continue the pattern of the day and spend some more quality time with mi casa.  And I know ya'll have been wondering all this time exactly what my home away from home looks like.  So here's some pictures to satisfy that burning curiosity.

The grand tour...

the bowl on my desk where I put all of my ticket stubs and brochures and all that jazz, soon I will have the fun task of going through it and deciding what to keep

the bottom of my closet where I throw all the things I buy, some day soon I will have to face the fact that these things must find a way to fit in my suitcase

the cork board where I've posted all of the lovely cards and letters I've received as well as some pictures I brought with me from home, It has added some much needed color to the room

the hallway outside my room, on the left is the door to the room where the high school students stay when they come and there's another door you can't see that leads to honestly I don't know where, the door at the end of the hall is where we pick up our laundry most of the time but there's definitely a bed in there, then on the right is the bathroom

the window here is to the inside of the house

looking down from the bathroom window

this is the patio, the center of the house and how it looks from the top of the stairs

this is looking out onto the terrace on the roof of the house

the narrow winding staircase that I have almost died on as I walked down the stairs too quickly in the dark, you have to take the curves at a wide angle so that you actually hit every step

this is the inner door, it has a name I can't remember, it creaks really badly, beyond is a set of double doors that actually lead out to the street, normally they are open during the day but R and J were out this afternoon while I was doing this fun little photo shoot

Lola.  She's quiet when she's sleeping.

the view of the kitchen from my bedroom window, well if I open the window and look down this is what I would see, and when I did this today I noticed that breakfast was still out so I went down to eat even though it was after 2 in the afternoon

this is what I really see if I just glance out my window

the kitchen

this is where ham comes from in spain, yum

what I come down to every morning, the table set for breakfast, and I though I would eat while they were out but they came back before I finished so they got a good laugh at me sitting in the kitchen in my pajamas eating breakfast at 2:30 in the afternoon, it was just one of those days

looking up from the kitchen, that window is the window in my room

Wasn't that fun?  So now you know where I'm staying and I will always be able to look back on my home in Sevilla.  Nothing more to say because today I didn't take one step out of la casa.
