dieciséis- this whole day

 I'm thankful for today. It wasn't perfect, but it was so nice.

 I woke up earlier than usual this morning to read God's word and prayed. Then, I had a simple and quiet breakfast. I walked to the Castilla-La Mancha library to read for class. I also found a book that has really interested me, so I checked it out so I can try to read it in Spanish. Sorry to spoil the end, but the title is "They Both Die At The End", or "Al Final Mueren Los Dos" by Adam Silvera. Then, I sent some postcards to a family member and a friend. 

 I headed back to the foundation for lunch, then I went to la Iglesia de Los Jesuitas, or the Church of the Jesuits. Wow! I didn't want to leave. It's so beautiful. I also got to go up to the tower and see an awesome view of Toledo from there. 

 I don't know what it is about organs, but I just love them. This one isn't even as elaborate and adorned as the organ from the cathedral, but I still love it. 

 Eighty-nine stairs to get to the tower.  

 Next, I went to Real Colegio Doncellas Nobles, or the Royal School of Noble Maidens. I didn't have much time because I had to meet Álvaro soon, but I got to see a bit of the old school. It is so cool! Toledo never ceases to amaze me. I definitely want to come back here and explore the school more. 

 After that, I met Álvaro and his friends and we went to a few awesome spots in Toledo. We went to La Ermita de La Virgen del Valle, or the Hermitage of the Virgin of the Valley, and rang the bell that you can hear from miles away. It's just what you do when you go there. Apparently, you ring it if you are looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend. I rang the bell and who knows, maybe it's good luck. Haha!  We'll see what happens... 

 Then, we went to La Piedra del Rey Moro, or the Stone of the Moor King to get a spectacular view of Toledo and the sunset. It was incredible.

 We got churros and chocolate at a popular churrería, Kiosko Catalino. It was so delicious, of course. 

 Today was such a good day. I got things done, checked out a good book, explored Toledo some more, spent time with Álvaro, and I met some new friends. God is so good.

 Kthnxbai!
