Dia Tres- Tour of the City of Toledo/Madrid Scavenger Hunt

This is Morgan and Courtney coming to you live from Madrid on day 3 of our European adventure.  This morning we took a bus trip about an hour south of Madrid to the city of Toledo.  We got to see the beautiful landscape of the entire city from a lookout that was separated from the city from a river. It was a breathtaking scene.  From there we traveled by foot throughout the streets of Toledo.  We saw some incredible architecture especially the cathedrals, ranging from the 1100's to the 1500's.  After our tour ended at 1pm, we were able to walk freely, shop, and get food in the heart of the city.  Once we returned to Madrid we freshened up because our advantageous coaches created a scavenger hunt throughout the city of Madrid.  We had about 25/30 different tasks to complete/get pictures of within two hours.  We all enjoyed the healthy competition and also exploring the city a bit more.  Our helpful guide/translator Pedro, led "Las Churros" (himself, Emily, Courtney, and Natalie) to victory with a perfect score.  However, regardless to who won, it was just an overall great experience for all of us.  We even got to pick up some delicious food along the way.  After the hunt we had the rest of the night to do as we pleased.  It was quite a tiresome day and our explorations got the best of us, so now we are in our rooms, bonding and playing a few rounds of cards! We are excited to see what tomorrow brings. Adios Muchachos!
