I thoroughly enjoyed our field trip to the Jewish area and got to see and learn about a whole new area that was very interesting. It is a very beautiful area, with some very old buildings and architecture, as well as some newer additions. The old buildings are so beautiful and detailed, but unfortunately some of them were torn down and huge, very unflattering buildings were put up in its place. Many of the newer buildings are very plain and tasteless, and it is a shame that the older ones were demolished. The streets were small and extremely narrow, called “calle”, and the windows were progressive and were smaller at the top and got bigger as they got lower, or the opposite. The boundaries of the city are now different, and you can no longer see the ocean from the ends of them. Back when they used horses and carriages for transportation, signs were put up to direct which way you could enter and exit in order to avoid collision. We went by a school, courtyard and church with little children running around and playing soccer. There were many cute little shops and restaurants that we walked by which I definitely want to come back and visit, and I am very glad that I got to have this experience.
