| View of the whole city |
On Friday, the whole BC en Madrid group (rolling 40 deep) had our first group trip to Toledo, a city about an hour outside of Madrid. A really long time ago, (I technically could go look at my notes and get precise dates...but that would mean moving out of bed sooooo not about that...) control of the city changed hands between many different groups so there are Christian, Muslim, and Jewish influences all throughout the city. It's a city with TONS of history, which makes sense that we would go there. The trip was educational and counted as class time because I am taking a class in Madrid that's basically an art/history/culture class with the BC Professor who lives here in Madrid. The class is only offered for BC students, and the majority of the group is taking it. Therefore, since the trip was for a class, we
couldn't just zone out and take a few pics were lucky enough to take notes and pay attention to all the explanations of each site!

All in all, the trip was a great start to the class and a good way to introduce us to some of the places and things we'll be studying in the coming weeks.
Because I took notes, (hopefully) my pictures will be labeled correctly here! Although with my luck I misheard things or got things confused and nothing is right here...which in reality would not really affect anyone, considering I'm pretty sure you will not care too much about the pictures of buildings that you are about to look at. But oh well, enjoy some of the sights of Toledo!

(Found a street called Toledo de Ohio. This would be cool if Ohio wasn't so icky.)
