Took a day trip over to Toledo today which was about 50 miles away. I can see why the Basque people from this northern region of Spain settled in Wyoming, Nevada and Northern California. The terrain looks very similar to Wyoming and Nevada.
City of Toledo is still the same buildings that were built in the 1100 and 1200's. Hard to imagine the Moors and Christians trying to scale the walls of the fortress it just boggles the mind. A lot of the shops have gold and silver dishes and jewelery a lot of handcrafted items. Suits of armor that reflect either the moorish or christian styles.
I don't know if anyone has seen it on the news but there are huge demonstrations going on in Madrid right now. We were told to go to the main part of town for drinks and tapas tonight and walked straight into the middle of the main demonstration! So here we were with 50,000 people not a great scene!
Anyway Debbie thought it was exciting but all Peter and I could think of were the terrorists that could just walk into the crowd let loose.
Speaking of Peter he went to get a haircut this afternoon and asked for a 1/4 inch off. Here is the result :) Just call him Buzz for the next couple of weeks.
Off to Barcelona in the morning for the next two days we will talk to you tomorrow.
Buenos Noches
