I posted pictures from this weekend...they should be in the same slideshows as before...if not then they will be posted later! :) So, this past weekend Melissa, Rosanna and I went to our first day trip to Toledo, we left after breakfast and were back before dinner. Toledo was an interesting city to visit, it wasn't as crazy at Madrid, it was more historical with beautiful landscapes! Also, seeing the calle de toledo de ohio was pretty awesome too! I'm pretty sure it was known for it's medieval weapons, because they were everywhere! I tried my first paella...it was pretty good, but esperanza's was most definately better! By the way...I'm totally loving most of the spanish food. Even some foods that I thought I didn't like: green beans, peas, ect. I've been trying many different things as well that are just so different that I have to try it different times to really decide if I actually like it; an example is mango and empenadas. I've been finding myself looking forward to her dinners and what she is going to put in it that's new to me! Besides empenadas, I love lintel soup! This past sunday I saw a bullfight. It definately was an experience. I know that it's their culture and I respect that, but I thought that it was horrible, abusive and cruel. I only took limited pictures. Melissa, Walker and I only stayed until after 2 rounds(rounds as in the same thing, 2 dead bulls) when we came home to find out there are 6 rounds. I thought it was cruel and unfair for the bull. It's safe to say I will never go to another one again. Classes are going well, my favorite being dance! We are learning merengue, bachata, and tango. I'm realizing just how much I am uncoordinated.The past few days have been really chilly, it's weird how quickly fall sets in here. Although it's supposed to drop to 60 on thursday, it's supposed to go back up to 80 so who know's if this is really fall...as for now I'm trying to book a flight for Oct. 1-4 to possibly paris.
hasta luego!
