Toledo

Today we took a day trip to Toledo Spain (the old capital of Spain). We woke up on time, so we thought, and went to the train station. Lets just say that we left the hostel a little later than we planned and had to run down the street, into the train station, and to the ticket counter with the guy yelling ¡rapido,rapido,rapido! We got on the train and literally after sitting down for 15 seconds the train took off. What a start. We made it to Toledo and toured the city. Went inside the beautiful cathedral built in the 1200´s. We also went to several other places within toledo. One of those places was the infamous tapas restuarant I somehow remembered where it was at. This place basically served a meal with every drink you got. It was delicious and Tom was really happy he got to go because he has been jealous of us, who went 2 years ago, ever since. Saw paintings by El Greco and others. Tomorrow we are heading to Salamanca which is about 2 1/2 hours away. Hasta Luego
