Primevera for sure

Buenas dias y buena primavera a todo. The weather here has been astounding and I'm so fortunate to see what Spain is like at the onset of spring.
The past couple of weeks I've been able to see a bit more of Spain outside of Madrid. I went to Toledo two weeks ago. Such a rich city only 30 minutes from here on train, and saw a such a mixture of cultures in one city- from Roman, to Muslim, and Jewish imprints on the city. Its situated in the plains of Castilla-La Mancha, south of Madrid, the geographic area of where Don Quixote was based off of. It was great to see the landscape, rivers, valleys, and farming land.
It's been great travelling with and getting to know Nuria and other friends who have shown me a lot of Spain.
I also went hiking this past weekend in the Navacerradas, just north of Madrid. Its a mountain range that surrounds the meseta and I've been dying to go visit. I went with Nuria and a couple of others hiking for half the day along some trails, past some lakes, and breathed some fresh air outside of Madrid for a change. It reminded me so much of home.
The classes have been going well, and maybe for a little while I might take on some other classes with little kids where I can be paid as a private teacher and practice my spanish a bit more during the class hours. I've noticed a big improvement speaking with people and still find it fun learning spanish.
Thank you all still for your prayers and support,

Kyle
