I have started the quest to get as sick as possible of churches and castles. Haha! After orientation, I had a long weekend. So, my friend Andréanne and I jumped on the AVE (high speed train) and went out to see Toledo! It was ridiculously awesome. I still need to post pictures but I am way behind on everything so it isn’t going to happen right now.
Toledo is this city that is basically built on the top of this hill. Surrounding the town there is this giant gate or fence or whatever you would call a super tall brick thing that keeps the bad guys out. It is this tiny little fortress and it was soooo cool.
Andréanne and I basically just wandered around the city. I had a map and things I wanted to see but really, we were in no rush. We went into the cathedral and took silly pictures with statues and went on a nice little nature walk outside the city looking up into it. We got SUPER lost in the side roads and for the most part we really didn’t care. We took many excellent Facebook profile worthy pictures with big European buildings in the background. We successfully avoided the museum and I even found a nice pair of boots for 9 Euros! Rock on! Hahaha!!
I don’t know. I feel ridiculous writing this now because nothing I say can really describe what it is like there. I am no Jane Austen when it comes to describing the gorgeous things I am seeing. I really can’t do the place justice. You just need to see it. I will post pictures but they probably won’t do it justice either. Just trust me. Toledo is adorably cute and quaint and all castle like and I loved it.
