Toledo day!

The second day, we went to Toledo which, in short, looked like something out of a story book. 

We went to Toledo from Madrid via high-speed train (which was not quite as high-speed as I was hoping. My mind was not blown). Below, an arco de herradura (thank you Art and Architecture class).

Once in Toledo, we visited a museum, pictured below. I was admiring the courtyard layout of the museum (the doors to all the individual rooms lead outside) and wondered for the briefest of moments why we don't have museums like that. And then I imagined it filled with snow. 

Toledo has an incredible view to add to its assets. I must have spent a good twenty minutes just staring a it.

While in Toledo, we ate Paella (still not as good as the Paella I had at the art fair back in Minnesota... I didn't think good Paella would be that hard to find in Spain, but it is proving otherwise), and I tried Mazapan for the first time, which was strange but quite tasty. Speaking of tasty things, I ate my first Kinder Bueno, which I felt obligated to do, as they are everywhere in Spain, and they are DELICIOUS. Might have to get another couple hundred before I leave. Also, there's this cereal here, called "Rellenos de chocolate" that are literally that: filled with chocolate. These are a few of my new favorite things.
