Today I visited Toledo, Spain, a small city on a hill in Madrid. Can I just first say that it was very very hot. Like a different type of heat and very desert like but nonetheless beautiful! I went with my roommate, who is from Russia. Yes, Russia, and it’s very fascinating going places with her because, even though she knows English, she prefers to speak Spanish which pushes me to practice even more.
Anyways, while in Toledo, we were on this hill that overlooked a church and while on the hill we saw these very well dressed Spaniards. We thought they had to be dressed for a wedding because they were just that fancy. To our surprise, we stumbled across an actual wedding!!! I had the luxury of experiencing such a unique event. The bride was very beautiful and the wedding was held in this huge cathedral and there were literally hundreds of guests. Her dress was white and long and she had a veil but it seemed a lot more traditional than in the U.S. The bride was very beautiful and I am very happy to have experienced that!!
