Hello all! Again I apologize for the quantity of blog posts that I'm throwing at you all but think of it as me helping everyone to procrastinate just a bit more! =]
Anyways, on October 27 IES had its last excursion! We all went to Toledo. Toledo is about an hour south of Madrid so about three and a half to four hours away from Salamanca. Toledo also is where swords for Spain have been produced for a longggg time. Thought about buying one but customs and getting it to the airport in the first place would've been a little tough!
The first part of the tour was in the bus and we took it up to the top of a hill on the other side of a river to overlook the city and take some pictures. Then we went on a walking tour around the city and saw a sword factory and then were given some free time to wander around and then we headed back to Salamanca!

| The inside of a convent I believe? They never really told us what it was...just kind of took us inside |

| After the visit of the city we had free time and me and my friends decided to get lost for fun |
 |
| ...we wound around the streets up on top of a big hill... |
 |
| ...till we found a cool lookout point. |
OK! That's all for now!! More to come this week or next about when my mom came to visit!! =]
