On Friday morning, we met for breakfast and got tortilla de patatas at a nearby cafeteria. We got a pass for 10 euros for 7 monuments in Toledo, including a mosque, a synagogue, and a monastery. We went to the mosque first, called La Mezquita de Cristo de La Luz. It was so neat! The original mosque with the addition of the church was obvious because of the Arabic influence and the display of Jesus on the cross.
I've never thought I am too good at history. But, living in Toledo, I've been able to understand the history of this ancient city. So, as I showed my mom around, I was a tour guide for a day, telling the history behind the architecture, statues, and buildings. It was kinda fun.
My mama is amazing! She brought me some pumpkin spice granola bars!! It's what I've been missing from my life this fall!!
After a quick tour of the Fundacion, meeting my roommates, and eating lunch, my mom went to a wine tasting, at which I nibbled on some cheese. It was also a tiny museum, so we learned a little bit about Manchego cheese!
This is the wine she tasted. The label is pretty!
A pretty coffee she got later at a place called Santo Café!
For the rest of the day, we walked around and looked around in some stores before getting dinner.
I was super excited because I found an adapter where I can charge my phone AND use my earphones at the same time. Amazing, right? Now, I don't have to bother my roommates with the French music I listen to before I go to sleep while charging my phone!
We got some delicious baked codfish for dinner and called it a day!
It was super fun showing my mom the little and big things I love about this city.
Kthnxbai!
