I lose my sense of time here because everything is so hectic. I mean just orientation. There are about 2 meetings a day for mierda.
What I mean is excuse me for not updating this blog as much. I will be more alive once the real semester begins after the weekend.
Last Friday I went to the Museo Sorolla, which is close to the Insituto Internacional (home base). Sorolla was an artist who is very famous for his impressionist interpretations of beach scenes and landscape, especially the city of Granada.

The building has been conserved since Sorolla's time as a family home and then museum. |

| In Sorolla's lifetime, this was where he worked and displayed his paintings for sale. |

On Wednesday I went to Principe Pio, which I was told was going to be a huge centro comercial. It was, except it sucked and there was nothing memorable or Spanish about it. So I walked around the neighborhood in frustration until I ran into this beautiful chapel. It is the Ermita de San Antonio, which features Francisco Goya's ceiling frescoes, which were spectacular, and I wish they allowed pictures inside. Goya's body was moved here in the early 1900s so people might also refer to this as Goya's Tomb.
