Sofia Somewhere

I can't believe it's May and I'm entering my last month here in Spain (for this school year at least - more on that later). Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, we're making the most out of our remaining weekends. Last weekend we headed to Cuenca which is where our friend Zed works, to see the city (I've never been), and also to celebrate his birthday. Lyle and I took the bus to Madrid on Thursday afternoon, then spent the night in Julie's place. The next morning the three of us took a Blabla car to Tarancon , the pueblo where Zed works. Tarancon is a pretty small town in the province of Cuenca. Zed told us that it was a really small town (he lives 3 minutes walking distance from his school, 5 minutes walking distance from the bus station) with nothing to do and see. I figured there must be a least something , and convinced the others to stop by on our way to Cuenca (it was on the way anyway). We made it to Tarancon and realized that... well, there...

Today's day trip was to Toledo. Bel had school, so it was just Ange and I. We took the train to Toledo -- it was a fast trip, about half an hour. When we got out of Toledo's train station, we decided to walk to the city center. Bel told us it would be far - about half an hour or so - but we didn't realize we had to walk uphill. It was a tiring trip, but the view along the way was nice. You could see a lot of the residential and commercial areas from up.
