Our orientation in Toledo was great. It was a great way to get background on some of the history in Spain and an idea of what our experiences will be like while getting to do tourist-y stuff.
We met the coordinators of our program and attended different sessions/meetings called "A new life in Spanish," "Life in Spain: living in a family," "Toledo and the three Cultures," and "Spain Today."
There are about 80 students from USD and about 20 from SMU (Southern Methodist University) in the program at la Fundacion Jose Ortega y Gasset.
Toledo was a beautiful city. It seemed small because the narrow roads are surrounded by tall buildings. It was really fun just walking around, going in the shops, and taking pictures. On Thursday, we had guided visits to the "Burial of the Count of Orgaz" by El Greco; and the Synagogue of El Transito and the church of San Juan de Los Reyes in the Sefardi Museum. These were also some amazing sights.
