Ayer, mis amigas y yo fuimos a TOLEDO. Yesterday, my friends and I went to TOLEDO. We got up super early and took the bus to Madrid, and then a train to Toledo, the walled in city filled with swords and really confusing streets.
Once we were there, we wandered for a bit to find el Museo de Santa Cruz (Museo = Museum) which we saw lots of art, and many El Greco originals. After that, we ate lucnh and visited La Catedral, which si claimed to be the second largest Catedral in the World...to that of St. Peter's Basillica in Roma.
After viewing the inside..sorry no pictures were allowed. :(, I snapped one picture of myself being dwarfed by the outside...(I am the one with the white bag)
After the Cathedral..we basically got lost for about 4 hours..but that's okay because there really wasn't much more to see except the local shops, streets...oh yeah, and marzapan. The almond paste candy is extremely popular here (unfortunatly all wheat-ridden and such) but there is one place where nuns produce it, and have been producing it for the past few hundred years...so they make cool window displays like in NYC...here's a castle made out of Mazapan (or Marzapan)...
Well, we basically spent some time in Madrid, and then took a train home and I passed out. super tired. Anyways, today I have una montana de tarea (a mountian of homework) that I have to do, seeing as I have basically not been doing it and going traveling instead..so I am going to spend this sunday doing homework in my shoe-box-of-a room. I will do a classes update sometime this week seeing as we have MIDTERMS the week after next week. ugh. I actually have to do work here? ;)
Abrazos desde Salamanca!
