Nos gusta TOLEDO!

Hoy fuimos a Toledo, la ciudad antigua y la capital original de España. Puedes ver La Catedral y El Alcazar en el fondo. También, vimos la obra famosa por El Greco: "El Entierro del Conde Orgaz"

Toledo por las calles.

La Universidad, bullfight demo, and tapas!

Today started with another wonderful tour from our trusty guide, Inés. We went into the old University and began to understand what class was like hundreds of years ago.  We saw the library, classrooms that are no longer used, and Inés even told us about how the poor used to sit in the front row until just before the nobels arrived- to warm their seats!! The second half of the day was spent at Capea for some pool time, a bullfight demonstration, and delicious tapas.

Segovia y Ávila

This morning we left early for our Segovia and Ávila day trip. In Segovia we explored the Cathedral, the Alcazar (a castle where only the king and queen stayed), and of course the famous Acueductos.  From there we traveled to the beautiful walled city of Ávila nearby.  A true medieval town!
