Today our group of students from SMU and USD traveled to to Toledo, a very old and little city. The whole city is built of stone; the buildings, the streets, everything! The weather is hotter than Madrid because it's more dry. We arrived in Toledo at 11 am and we are staying in dorms. [that doesn't really make sense] I am with 2 girls in my room, Lindsay and Samantha, who are roommates in Madrid as well.
It has been very guay (the new word of the day) [that means cool] to get to know the other students on the trip. It's a bit difficult to meet the people from USD because we are separated for the majority of our studies. They aren't making any effort either. I hope it will be easier when classes start and we see each other every day but I don't know. I have heard that the USD students are like those from SMU...like they think their shit doesn't stink. But I don't want to make an opinion. One thing I realized is that all the people in the Spain program are very good looking! All of them! It's like it was a prerequiste.
Anyway, we went to 2 classes today; one to explain the program and describe the rules and shit. And one for the typical conversaion in Spain. There are many differences in the spanish language between Spain and Latin America. Fore example, in Spain they say 'Jesus' for 'salud'. Also we went to the main cathedral of Toledo, San Ilnefonoso. It was very big and was built during more than 4 centuries. It is Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and one more style I can't think of. I didn't like the church very much because it is too decorated; it's too much to look at! I appreciate it for what it is but the sculpture becomes stupid looking and inecessary (I am probably going to hell for that). Now we are going to a bar for some wine. The wine is very rich and delicious and apparently all the alcohol is twice what it is in the United States. FIESTA!!!
