Toledo

So Toledo great ol being drunk in Toledo~ well let me give you a little history about this city, it’s a medieval city on a hill that’s home of the fable of Don Quixote, a legend that most of us know as the soldier who fought against some wind mills. Anyway enough history this city was gorgeous with sword shops and armor stores everywhere it was like stepping back in time, minus the fact that when we went, it was like walking around in the North Pole. It was crazy cold but after having about 191 café con leeches’ I felt a little better, still drunk but better! Next we went to the local cathedral which was beautiful minus the fact they had just painted the entire inside of the church white which to me kind of took away from the whole experience but anyway this church was the burial place of all of the arch bishops for Spain. It was cool to see how their uniforms have changed through the years in the local museum about the history of the Spanish Catholic Church. After touring the city we went and saw this really cool escalator system that brought us out of the old town and into the newer part and on our way to the train and our next destination of Cordoba…
