Mi Lugar Favorito (My favorite Place) - Plaza de España


Last summer I lived in Sevilla, Spain. I had the time of my life learning how to navigate a big, foreign city - exploring all the different parts of it. I enjoyed finding beautiful places to sit, study and people watch. Perhaps my favorite place in the city was the "Plaza de España". This plaza is beautiful with eye catching stones, a little canal large enough to ride a small boat through it, and a fountain that casts a rainbow when the sun hits it just right. The place was calming to me, for I would sit in the cool shade and drink a granizada to escape from the extreme heat Sevilla is known for. While there are parts of Sevilla I do not miss, this is one that I often find myself longing for. I cannot wait to return to this place one day and think back to the best summer of my life.

Week 10/11 Story: The Plagues of the Plains People

Image
It was a time when men were plentiful and the plain's creatures grew abundantly. However, the leader of the Plains Tribe, Eagle, was oppressing many people of the nearby Mountain tribe. The Mountain tribe were good people, who listened and worshiped the Raven, unlike the majority of the Plain's people. The Raven heard of this enslavement and was angered. He went to Eagle's oldest son, Arrow, and said, "You must convince your father to let the people of the mountains leave his reign. He will refuse, so I will bring down my fist on the Plains people. Then I will rescue the mountain people, and all will know I am the creator and true leader." Arrow did as the Raven commanded of him. Eagle's heart was hardened and he refused to listen to the Raven's threats. Then the Raven appeared to Arrow, "Your father's heart is stubborn and he is refusing to let the mountain people go. So go to him and tomorrow and watch him as he witnesses my first curse on the...
