No me ha dejado, Sevilla

For those of you unfamiliar with the city of Seville, this is the symbol displayed on the municipal flag, the manhole covers, the communal bikes, the signs, the buses; every where you look there's NO8DO. Where else have you seen a city proudly present their symbol and logo, or have one at all? Once you know Seville you will understand.
The figure eight in the middle is bundle of wool, or a madeja. Saying it all together in the Sevillan accent creates the phrase: "No me ha dejado". This translates to: "It [Seville] has not abandoned me".
To those who have visited the unforgettable city of Seville, this phrase strikes a chord. And now that I have been out of that Andalusian paradise for three weeks now, I am really feeling the ache. Those orange-tree-lined streets! That distinctive flamenco compas! Those fried anchovies Maria made for Miranda and me! The graceful Guadalquivir! I know I will make it back to that gorgeous southern Spanish city sooner or later. I would not be the same without having had this experience.

I have made so many amazing friends and have learned so much in Seville and from all of my adventures in these past four months. I wish I was still out there... There's a whole world waiting!! A special thank you to my mom and dad who trusted me enough to send me out into it!
