Toledo




Hello again everyone. It's Sunday evening over here, I'm just chilling until super time (probably about an hour or so), and putting off my half hour of homework I have to do. Friday night I went to my first movie over here in Spain. I went and saw Siete Almas (Seven Pounds) with some of my Stevens Points friends. I enjoyed the movie, up until the end, and then I wasn't a huge fan anymore, but I won't give anything away. After that I went back to my house instead of going out with other people because it was around 1, and I had to get up at 6. I woke up around 6 and went to the bus station, where 9 of us met to go to Toledo for the day. We took a bus to Madrid where we took the metro to another bus station, where we got on a bus to Toledo. We walked around the city a lot, and of course got lost quite a bit too. We checked out a few museums and churches, as well as quite a few shops. I ended up getting a sweet hunting knife; even though I don't hunt, I thought it looked cool (Toledo is famous for their blades). For supper, we ate at McDonalds, my first time since arriving in Spain. I had a cheeseburger and a McFlurry, and they were both really good. The McFlurry I got with M&Ms, and they used peanut M&Ms, which was reallly tasty. I didn't go out when I got back, even though it was around midnight, the prime time to head out for the night, because I was really tired and had spent around 7 hours on buses. Sunday, I went to church. It's always fun when we sing a song that I recognize and know in English. We also had Communion, the first since I've been here. Other than that I haven't been up to a whole lot today. It's hard to believe that I've almost been here for a month now; it has been going by fast. Well I need to go do my homework now, since I might be watching the Super Bowl tonight, it's not on until 12:30 AM over here, so it might be a long night.
