Windmills
... yesterday to get to Toledo. We took a little detour at one point so that we could see the famous windmills from Don Quijote. The bus had a hard time climbing the hill where the windmills were! It was fun walking around the windmills once we got up there.
When we got to Toledo we had 40 minutes before we had to get together to go out for our afternoon session. I dropped my bags in my room and then headed out to walk around ...

We had to go to another hostel ten minutes away for our last night. Our plan was to get up early, pack, ...
Toledo, Spain
Hola!
Last Tuesday, Jenna and I made a day trip to Toledo, Spain. I was quite excited for this trip since I had heard about Toledo, Spain for many years.....After all, I was born in Toledo, Ohio. :-) When I was younger, I remember a lot of people mentioning Toledo, Spain, which I always thought was cool. I assumed Toledo, Spain was reminiscent of Toledo, Ohio....Hah.
First obvious difference is the pronunciation...I still ...
