Toledo and Night Life!

Yesterday we went to Toledo, which is the religious capital of Spain. I don't remember much except that we saw the third largest cathedral in the world there (it was beautiful), and it was really hot. That is all.
Ta-da! It's gorgeous. Look at the light from the top. It took 500 years to build, but I can't imagine how even 500 years could possibly be enough to make such a masterpiece. I wish I could've taken pictures inside!
There was a mariachi band! Influence of the Central Americas.
I think this garbage can is so funny hahahahah

I love my camera. Look at how beautiful that empanada came out! It has lomo (aka loins in the dictionary...) and chorizo YUM

I finally went out last night! I've been a nerd for a good part of this trip because I have class so early in the morning, and yesterday was the first time I could go out all night because I didn't have anything to wake up for today (besides lunch)! Alissa and I before going out, taken at the prime angle as deemed by Suzan.

We went bar hopping (it's so nice not needing to worry about an I.D.), and I feel like we went to every single bar in Salamanca.
It was a really weird night--first, we got mooed at by a guy through a safety cone. Then there were a billion bachelor/ette parties going on, and apparently here they all dress up in costumes or alike. There were groups of guys in Roman gladiator costumes and girls in bumblebee costumes, but my favorite was this group of guys dressed as devils with this one guy dressed as cupid, as in wearing wings and a human diaper. He grabbed me and tried to put a sticky arrow on my forehead hahaha
Then this other guy asked me if I was Korean, and when I said no and that I was from America, he gave me two thumbs downs. What the hekkz!
I got hit on a lot by drunk guys, but I think it has to do with me being Asian. I heard a lot of "jumble mumble CHINO jumble mumble" that I didn't quite understand. Apparently, I'm exotic here! How interesting.
Spaniards play a lot of techno music, and then they also decide to stick in really random strange things to play like YMCA or Grease Lightning.
We got back around 4 am, so I slept almost all day today. It was wonderful! I forgot to do my essay though... whoops!
