Primera cuenta

Toledo is a pretty beautiful city.  I haven't had much of a chance to explore the incredible countryside yet, as I've concentrated my time on exploring Old Toledo, which is inside some stone walls and is really cool.  The roads are tiny, and people usually just walk everywhere instead of driving as there is barely any room.  All of the buildings are several stories high and with the roads being about 8-10 feet wide, with no real structure or logic to the roads, its easy to get lost in the maze of streets.

The life here is really different.  Shops open up at about 8 and breakfast here is a little later, starting at 830-10.  Lunch is at 130, followed by siesta from about 2-5 where all the shops close down and everyone goes home to nap.  Things start to get going again around 5-6 and then stuff starts to close down again around 9-10 with dinner starting at 830.  People is general stay up a lot later than in the US, and on the weekends especially its crazy.  Midnight is considered early in the night, and people stay out until 6 on average.

Classes are all in Spanish but are only Monday through Thursday, and we are not allowed to speak English while in the school.  Both the dorms and the school are in the same building, so my classes are around 20 feet from my room.
