Holy Toledo!

So we woke up this morning and went to Toledo, which is about an hour south of Madrid. It was really beautiful there and they said the city has existed for thousands of years. We took a walking tour, and I learned quickly why the term "Holy Toledo" was coined because the whole tour was basically looking at churches and mosques and such...not really anything I'm remotely interested in, but it was still fun to walk around the cobblestone streets and look at the architecture. It was also really cool to see El Greco's masterpiece and hang out in the little town squares, which reminded me of something you would see in either Italy or England. Since it was so cold out, there were barely any people in the streets when we started out tour which was a little eerie, and made me think that if vampires existed in ancient cities, like they do in New Moon, they for sure would be lurking in Toledo. Tomorrow we finally head to Bilbao and get to meet our host families so I'm very excited!
