Toledo


This weekend I went to Toledo with my friend Jaclyn. We ended up doing the trip on the cheap because we found we could stay with one of the Auxiliares from Toledo that is doing the same work as we are in Ciudad Real. We stayed with Veronica, who is in her first year, and her roommate, who is in his second year, Powell. We went by bus, and it only took us an hour and a half. We explored all over the city, the narrowest streets I have ever seen, some only 7 feet wide, made in the 15th century. All the buildings there are centuries and centuries old. It's a gorgeous city and has so much history. It is one of the only cities in Spain and almost all Europe where Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in peace for centuries. They call it the city of three cultures. For this reason you can find so many things to visit: cathedrals, synagogues, mosques.

  1. Love your pictures. Brings back memories of roaming the narrow streets in July. You are missing Leigh in the short doorway! Love you, Mom
