La Noche de Patrimonio

  Last night was so cool. 

 It was the Noche de Patrimonio. There were many musical performances and museums open for free to celebrate the culture and history of Toledo. 

 My friends and I went to see a flamenco show and a violin solo performance. 


 So, the Flamenco turned out to be an instrumental and singing group, called Canela & Cia. We thought it would be a Flamenco dance. They were really talented and passionate, but it just wasn't what we expected. 


 Next, we went to Plaza Zocodover to see El Violinista Rebelde perform. I was freaking out about how talented this dude was! The beginning of the first song was really slow as he played quarter notes, then he gradually turned them into eighth notes, then sixteenth notes! It was insane! The second song was my favorite becuase I immediately recognized it as "Roundtable Rival" by Lindsey Stirling. He performed it really well! No, he didn't dance like Lindsey does. He did spin around a few times though. He also played a Michael Jackson medley and a song by AC/DC. It was amazing. 


 I got me a hot chocolate at Starbucks because the temperature is actually cool enough to drink something warm in September. I think one of the few things I don't miss about Alabama is the weather.


 Even though I didn't get to see a Flamenco dance performance, I got to see an incredible violin performance, so I was satisfied. 

 Kthnxbai!
