14 May 2008


We started the day off early. We were going to go to the Cathedral in Toledo, were we are staying, but it cost 7 euro now so we didn't go. While we were waiting for the Cathedral to open some guy came up and talked our teacher into going to a monastery where they make Damasquinados (jewelry). We were then supposed to go to see "The burial of Count Orgas" by El GRECO, but we didn't. The morning was a total wash. But the afternoon did provide some exercise and a lot of photos of the town. I walked with Daniel, Josh, Jessica and Mandy to Toledo Neuve (New Toledo). I took several pictures film and digital. I love to people watch and one thing I notice more then anything is the number of people who smoke. No, I'm not smoking. But it sure is tempting. The way back was all up hill so I told everyone that the only way I was going back was by taxi. The food is wonderful and I eat lots of Tapas (small portions of really good food).
