Holy Toledo!!!

First Real Excursion!

Started out the day with continental breakfast with the gang. We hopped on a comfy bus and went to Toledo. This city has a wall around it and was once the capital of Spain. We saw on our walking tour: Iglesia de San Juan de los Reyes, a synagogue, Cathedral de Santa Maria and Lunch at McDonalds!!

Here's my new novio. I believe he is Don Quixote. Very handsome. And heck he doesn't talk back!! Que Bueno! JKJKJK (Dont cry jakey... he's made of bronze... not very portable!)

After that we returned to the bus and slept (imagine that) all the way back to our hotel.

Mom and Dad ... the super amazing people they are took me out for one last American meal (Hard Rock Cafe -- I think it's becoming my second home). It was super. I talked to the taxi drivers both ways; asking them silly questions.

Next I met up with our group. All of us wanted to go out and see the US vs Spain game. We went out and this er.... odd man (maybe slightly handicapped) came with us. Unfortunately we couldn't find a bar nearby that had the game playing so we went to the hotel bar (which did have the game on!) WE WON!!! According to a news article I just read the last time Spain lost was 35 games ago in 2006.

We left towards the end of the game and headed for some dessert. We stopped at un Helado tienda in Puerta del Sol.

Then we gave ourselves a night tour of the Royal Palace and Plaza Mayor. We had such a great time :-D
