Holy Toledo! Y otras cosas :)

Vale, nuestro grupo fue a Toledo en el sábado pasado. En serio, el lugar más hermoso en todo el mundo. Había un poco nublado, pero fue divertido a lo mismo. Toda la ciudad fue surrealista. Tengo unas fotos de allí :) Disfruta :)

Mmk friends. The gang went to Toledo last  Saturday. Seriously the most gorgeous place in the world. It was a little cloudy, but it was supa fun all the same. The whole thing was just unreal. Here are some pics. Enjoy :)

P.S. Don't forget that you can click on any pic and it will make it bigger. Figured that out last week, which is why I have all my pics smaller now. FYI :) haha



La ciudad. Increíble, sí?

Awesome outdoor escalator to get to Old Toledo


So pretty! EVERYTHING!

Curvy cobble-stoned streets? So cool


Oh! Hey there hormoso edificio.


Yo no recuerdo que ese está :( Lo siento muchísimo!


I deem this intense door shot completely necessary


Altarpiece. Pretty :)


Tell me this ceiling isn't absolutely stellar!


Beautiful detailed walls


Check that! Even the sewers are pretty! Map of Toledo on all of them! You'll never get lost in this city.


This is in the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca (I think! I am so sorry if I am mistaken. But i don't think I am, so you can just go with it ;) Honestly though, too pretty huh?


More beauty for St. Mary


Cobble-stone road with a VESPA!


Sinagoga del Transito. HOW COOL IS THIS CEILING?!


Oh yeah,  that's my summer house. See the one with the brown roof?


Perrito :) Tan precioso


Just another building in Toledo.


See that incredible Cathedral hiding between the buildings??


Don't know what that is but it's COOL!!!!!


Catedral de Toledo!


An important building in TOLEDO!!!


Rylee Darling and I in front of the Catedral


My first GELATO! (subsequently followed by my second gelato... not pictured)


J kickin it in Toledo


What a view


This is my roommate. Mi compañera de cuarto if you will. Her name is Antón and she's pretty hilarious.


When I see this picture, I think of Thumbelina and I have no idea why.


Too precious. Casita amarilla.



Pues. Toledo fue un tiempo magnífico. En el lunes, no teníamos escuela porque fue una fiesta en España. No sé como fue pero, está bien conmigo.  Fui a Madrid con amigos por un día fantástico :)

So. Toledo was a magnificent time. On Monday, we didn't have school because it was a holiday here in Spain. I don't know what the holiday was, but it's all good with me :) I went to Madrid with some friends for a great day!


After getting lost (again) in Alcalá, I saw this bench! Love it. They knew I was comin ;)


Nat and I in front of a fountain in a big park in Madrid


Alright. There was a lake with little row boats you could go on. It was seriously the most precious thing I've ever seen. Had to get my boy Kenny in the pic somehow. Success?? Yes :) Did I look like a total touristy America while doing it? Yes :)


Hahaha!! Alright. This guy was great. He wanted to draw me. I lied. I wanted him to draw me. He wanted 10 euros. I said no. He said 5. I said 3. He said ok, because I was pretty :P 
FUNNY! What a little romancer.


So. Natalie and Audi watched this whole thing happen. Now this guy had a way thick accent so I couldn't understand ANYTHING he was saying. Audi kept answering his questions. Finally, Audi says, "She speaks spanish." and he said (pointing at me) "She does?! Then why doesn't she understand anything I am saying?" to which I replied, "What?" 
Good job rik. Felt like a moron haha. It was great though. 


Me being nervous to see the end result!


The artist's medium


The finished product! Not bed, eh?? Notice the booty will ya?
You can call me Beyonce 


And THIS is what's on the other side of the lake! 


Gorgeous statue


Another angle of the lake 


Panorama of the lake, statue, and pillars

Ok. We had la comida en la plaza mayor. Biggest tourist trap ever. But still so cute :)
(that's why it's a trap!)
Anyway, THIS is my new favorite food!
Tortilla Española. SO GOOD! Basicamente a spanish omelette. 


Green olives. I was told they are better fresh than from a can... they're not.
I tried to be adventurous :)


Ok. The following few are from the Royal Palace in Madrid. This is honestly so beautiful.
Mom, I thought you might like this for your wall by the stairs :)

I know this is a little creepy... but this little girl was so CUTE eating her ice cream!


Gummy!!!! We went to a great little candy shop. Nat got a gummy coke.


Cansados :)


I don't remember if this was yesterday.. or the day before. Either way. The following pics are just of a couple of friends hittin da town of Alcalá de Henares. 


I tried my first Churros con Chocolate. ABSOLUTELY KILLER. 


Hope, Kylie, Audi, and Nat


Me and Nat were super hyper on the bus ride home. Kylie and Hope took engagement pics for us. Tell us which one we ought to put on the invitations!!! 


Hey, you there ;)


Congrats to us!!!!

Haha ok. So sorry about the last couple pics. It was just one of those days. Anywho. It's been a great first week-and-a-half :) Tomorrow morning (Friday May 6) we will be day tripping to Segovia!!! You'll be seeing and hearing all about it when I get home. Goodnight world!!!
