I know what you're thinking. But this is in a museum, the torture museum in Toledo, Spain. This is surprisingly the most humane method of execution that we saw - the axe. It was an incredibly fascinating and sickening exhibit of all the torture methods used during the Spanish Inquisition. See the below posts for more information on various torture methods (if you have the stomach).
Place of the Week
This is the interior of the Mezquita - a Church turned Mosque turned Church. More information below.
Word of the Week
Zumo - Juice
We already knew this word from Spanish Class, thanks Ms. Gillette and Mrs. Rogers! But it comes up a lot in conversation because Ariel's Mexican father always calls it jugo, which is what it is called in Mexico. He is constantly being corrected because in Spain it is called Zumo.
Food of the Week
Churros con chocolate are our food of the week! They are deliciously fried - they remind us of funnel cake. And they're even better when dipped in the Spanish hot chocolate, which is so thick it's almost like pudding! We saw one woman make them right in front of us. It made me feel slightly ill but it didn't matter once I tasted them!
