First and second day of Spain

Hey everyone!

First day was crazy traveling about (do not bring a lot of clothes because it sucks if you do lol) and then we checked into Hostal Aguilar... and had dinner later and had paella and steak and papas fritas.. and then we went out to a bunch of bars...

Second day we got up way too early and took a big bus to Toledo ( said Toe-lay-do, not Toe-lee-do) :) and we had a great tour guide, Fernando he showed us around Toledo. We went to this place where we saw this master put gold thread into steel. I bought earring that we're done by the apprentices and not the master. We went to this huggggge cathedral. The front gate had a huge clock from like 200 years ago and it was called the clock gate... :) ummm just wanted to write down what I saw because I wont remember and then we went inside and there were bishops buried inside their hats were up high and high over their graves. In the sacristy, there were paintings from Greco and Goya. One of Greco's first paintings were there. And then we basically had lunch which was a plate of pasta, and then a chicken wing with papas fritas... and then we went around on our own and bought postcards, and present for morgan and clip...

And then we all took huge naps on the bus back and then we packed up because we're still in Madrid and tomorrow we're actually going to Valencia and meeting up our host family and my roommate is cool and our hostal is like a hotel not that bad. After packing up we went to dinner drank some wines and had tapas which is appetizers that everyone eats together.... and now I'm typing and we're gunna go out for un noche el blanco i'm probably saying it wrong but it like huge shows at every corner.....

Okay everyone I'm getting for now...love you all umm email me stuff... AND i'll send stuff
