Toledo


The first half of this day, we actually visited the Airbus factory. They spoke to us about the manufacturing process, the different divisions, etc. We even got to see parts being made in real time, as well as tour the factory as well. We learned a lot about the production process and how many steps are taken to ensure quality, etc. It was very interesting to see a company at work in real time.

Our trip to Toledo was interesting as well. The weather was a bit grey when we arrived (but it later turned Sunny, no idea). The scenery though, was so beautiful. For some reason, I feel like the grey cast kind of added to the aesthetic of the area. It was a very beautiful city though and you can tell it has been there for a long time because it had a bit of an archaic feel to it.

In the first half of the trip, we were given free reign to walk around and explore a bit. My friends and I walked around together a bit to see if we can find anything interesting. I mostly looked around at the scenery and the old buildings. We then stopped to get hot chocolate and we got free churros with them so I would say that is a win. It was pretty good hot chocolate. We finally decided to take a break from walking and found a restaurant to eat at.

What I found to be the most memorable part of the trip, however, was the cathedral. I really enjoyed the art, as well as the general architecture of the building itself.



 It was really cool to see all the art that was created and put up in the cathedral. Especially the piece that was painted on the ceiling. I really enjoyed looking at everything, it was so awesome to have the opportunity to see these pieces in person.

Despite my feet hurting most of the time, I found this trip to be a great experience. I got to see art, eat great food and just generally have a good time. Often times, my favorite part of trips is just having the opportunity to look around and explore.
