toledo, castile-la mancha


stepping foot in toledo just off the train reminded me instantly of assisi in umbria, italy. initially i thought to myself that assisi is way more beautiful but in the end it wouldn't be fair to compare.

it was such a joy being here as it's my first trip outside madrid and it's a completely different city with how madrid is as an urban metropolitan. the peacefulness. the chill. the group of musicians playing at the square. the street musician playing cello in front of a cafeteria. children playing bubbles. and when you look up to the sky you can see how the clouds moving slowly against the bluest sky. it is as if they're all trying to tell you how good it is to be alive.
