Toledo

So Tuesday morning, after our late night out, we had to be on the bus by 8 a.m. I think we all looked pretty good for having three hours of sleep, and we were on time too! We headed to Toledo, which was about an hour away. I did not really know what to expect.

When we arrived in the city, I was pleasantly surprised. Toledo is a beautiful old town surrounded by the Tajo River. We crossed the bridge and the bus drove up into the hills, and we stopped at the best view of the city. You could see everything from there and it was the most beautiful view of this old city (for a time it was the capital of Spain). This view was my favorite part of the whole day.

After we saw the view things went a little downhill. We visited the Cathedral of Toledo. It is an amazing cathedral and full of history, but our tour guide took us through and talked to us about it for almost 3 hours...in Spanish! To say the least, we were not focusing too well by the end of the day. Around noon or 1, we finally had some free time just to roam...but most of the shops and stuff were closed for siesta. So we hung out in one of the big plazas and ate our bocadillos (sandwiches). Ashtin and I got some ice cream too.

After lunch we still had a little time to kill. So we decided to look for some shops. We found one that was open, Zara, it´s a clothing store that they have all over Europe. We were kind of shopping around a little and then we saw these shorts. They were the most outrageous patterns...really bright green, maroon and yellow flowers...and then, someone found t-shirts with sequined rainbows and smiley faces on them. So naturally we had to try them on for a picture. haha. So the 6 of us, me Brittany, Lauren, Ashtin, MacKenzie, and Ashley all tried them on, and had someone take our picture. We looked like some crazy band...the pictures are hilarious!

So that was our day in Toledo, we have some beautiful pictures and some crazy ones!
