WYD Toledo - International Friends (Part 2)

As mentioned in a previous blog, as part of the Days in the Diocese experience we were able to spend a lot of time with our host families and myself and Anne-Marie were lucky enough to be placed with some lovely people who went out of their way to help us get the most out of our visit.

Toledo is a truly beautiful city with a river running right through the heart of it and our hosts were only too keen to let us see that first hand so during our second day we were given a whistle stop tour of the main sights around the area.

Terracotta rooftops line up along the hillside, perilously close to the edge at some points and all along the river bank are derelict remnants of buildings from a more industrial river as it would have been in years gone by. We had walked around the outskirts of this area the previous night but nothing was to prepare us for just how beautiful it would be in daylight.

We made a quick stop for cool down at a hotel on the very top of the hill overlooking Toledo and it's the Cathedral right in the centre of the city that instantly catches your eye as you look across the horizon. So many awe inspiring places for us to enjoy and Anne-Marie was only too happy to pull a catalogue pose out of the bag as I tried to capture this view across the city.
