Toledo

Pühapäev/Sunday

Mina, Kyle, Mary Ellen ja Julie läksime Toledosse. Üritasime jõuda 12:20 rongi peale, aga rongijaama jõudes oli meil raskusi leida kohta kus me pileteid saame osta, niisiis sellele rongile me ei jõudnud. Lõpuks leidsime piletikassa, kus ootasime järjekorras vähemalt 30 minutit. Rong väljus 13:50 ning sõit kestis 35 minutit. Sealt jaamast väljuvad kiirrongid üle terve Hispaania. Kohale jõudes sõitsime taksoga Toledo linna keskusesse ja hakkasime mööda linna jalutama. Linn asus väikese kalju peal ja oli ümbritsetud kivimüüriga. Enamus tänavad on linnas väikesed ja kuhu autoga ligi ei pääse. Kõndisime terve päeva ja olime kõike väga väsinud. Seal linnas tuleb kõndida mäest üles, mäest alla. Enne ärasõitu söime lõunat pisikeses kohvikus. Toit oli imemaitsev, välja arvata magustoit, mis oli nagu tarretis, aga valmistatud tooretest munadest, vist :D

Jalutasime tagasi rongijaama, et sõita tagasi 19:30 rongiga. Õhtu veetsime jalgpalli vaadates.

Me, Kyle, Mary Ellen and Julie went to Toledo today. We were trying to take the train 12:20, but didn’t make it, because we didn’t find the ticket office. We were waiting on the line for 30 minutes to get the ticket to the next train what was at 13:50 (1:50 pm). It was high speed train and we drove to Toledo 35 minutes. All these high speed trains are driving all over the Spain, where ever you want to go. We took a taxi in a train station and drove to the central of the city.

This historic city in central Spain is positively packed with religious sites. A unique and richly diverse city, Toledo features Arab, Jewish, Christian, and even Roman and Visigothic elements. Toledo is located in the Castille region of central Spain, 42 miles southwest of Madrid and 85 miles southeast of Avila. It has a population of about 75,000 and is a very popular tourist destination. The streets are really small there and you can drive the car only on the main streets. Toledo is really pretty- old buildings, churches etc. A lot of walking up and down the hill. Before going back to Madrid we all ate lunch – local food, it was really good. We walked back to the train station at 7:00 pm to go back to Madrid.

We ended our evening watching Redskins game, what was exciting, but unfortunately our team lost.
