More Pictures

Hola,
Here are the rest of the pictures that I have taken so far. Enjoy!

We took a tour on the second day that we were in town. This is a place on the side of a cliff that overlooks the Old Toledo.
Me, with Old Toledo as a background.

This river, called el Rio Tajo, goes around the Old Toledo on three sides, making it one of the most protected cities in Europe.

Julia, Melissa, and me. We all go to the University of Minnesota.

A view of a wider than normal street across from Old Toledo on another bluff or mountain.

Old Toledo is very protected because of the river and because it is built on a high point in the region.

This is a view from Old Toledo looking out over some of the new barrios or neigborhoods.

This is the first picture from the walking part of the tour.

This is a monestary or convent I can't remember. There are many of them in the northern part of Old Toledo.

There are no leaves on the trees here as well. However look at the ground. No snow.

This is a more modern building of Old Toledo, you can tell because of the red brick. When this one was being built it was very expensive to use all red brick so that is why some parts have coble stone.

There are some different plants here.

This is the Cathedral, so beautiful!

A museum under renovation and a plaza full of students.

Another view of the Cathedral.

I think this is a government building, but I'm not sure.

Starting with this picture, the rest are from another day. This one is a view from my bedroom.

This is also a view from my bedroom. You can't really see it in the picture, but the mountain in the background has an olive orchard on it. The state Castilla-La Mancha, Spain is known for its olives and olive oil.

A view of the street as I wait for the bus to go to la fundacion (the name of my school). I live in a neigborhood that is about 20 to 25 minutes outside of Old Toledo where I go to school. The neigborhood is called Peligrono.

Peligrono.

Peligrono. There is a lot of construction here. A lot more than in the states.

Finally, me waiting for the bus in front of my apartment building. I live on the 4th floor which is the top floor. It is small in comparison to the apartments in the United States, but I like it.
