Is it possible to fall legitimately in love with a place? More specifically, a city? Because I have no other way to describe how much I enjoyed touring Toledo, Spain.

| Toledo, Spain |
I mean come on, look at that view!!! Toledo has a unique mix of three cultures: Christian, Jewish, and Muslim. One of the main reasons I loved this city so much was all the religious history attached to it. Toledo actually used to be the capital of Spain before Madrid. After taking these amazing pictures, we hopped back on the bus and drove right into the center of the Old Quarter to begin our walking tour.

Our walking tour of Toledo was wonderfully interesting (and we had an attractive tour guide, which doesn't exactly hurt)

When we were done touring the Old Quarter, we bussed over to the hotel where I decided on yet another siesta! After a bit of downtime, we had another (much longer) ISA-led meeting about housing and classes in Valencia. This meeting started getting me nervous about meeting my host mom and about how difficult my classes will be.
Famished from our long meeting, a big group of us decided to walk across the bridge into the newer part of town for dinner. It was great to chat and laugh and get to know the other Valencia students better :)
