Mi Ciudad

I FREAKING LOVE IT HERE!!

I have met so many great people here which has eased the transition from America and all of my friends back home. So far Toledo has been like one big I-House set in the back drop of an ancient city and in Spanish. I live in an apartment with Michal and Jan from Slovakia, Anna from UNCG, and Edgar from Mexico who is moving in sometime this week...I hope. My neighbors are also international students from South Korea and from the States. My Piso is also kind of like the party house where everyone comes to hang out before going out so I meet a lot of people that way. Here are some of the adventures that I have been on.

• I have a gym here in the city and it is a twenty minute walk from my piso. In the states I would NEVER walk twenty minutes up and down hill to go to the gym but there is something about walking there and feeling like a part of the city that is just cool.
• The one thing that I really miss from America is grass...not just grass but clean, green, thick grass that you can lay in and walk barefoot in. On our tour of the Fabrica de Armas where the majority of the Spanish students study I saw the first patch of GRASS!!
• Yesterday we ( the Americans) decided that it would be a good idea to get out of our Pisos (Apartments) and go for a walk (get lost) in the city. On our adventure we ended up outside of the walls of Casco Historico and across the Rio Tajo where there were so many breathtaking views of Casco.
• I LOVE TOLEDO!
