Toledo, land of the valient

On Sunday we decied to make a trip to Toledo the train tickets were about 15 euros for a thirty minute train ride. I know that I dropped alot of money in Toledo on 22 yr old Jameson a little gladius sword almost 2 feet long and mom some jewelry, as well as some gormet caramel squares for Dad. I got to use alot of my Spanish on the trip and it felt great to be able to easily communicate and understand everything . First off, when we got off the train we took the thirty minute walk up to the Plaza, it was worth it, I really think we went the wrong way but we ended up making it alright anyways. The views were very very beautiful, and the plaza had a nice shade to it. When we got to the plaza we tried to decide what we wanted to see so how about El Greco's house? NOPE didn't get to see it, shut down to rennovation. Also we tried to go to the synagoge across the street, totally got down out of that one too because it closed at 2. After that we were thinking, well lets go see the cathedral, it was shut up so tight, so I asked on of the guys telling postcards what was going on and if the cathedral was always closed or something. He told me that it was closed for a religious event, which happened to be the installation of the next Archbishop of Toledo. After that we go back to the plaza thinking damn, we aren't going to get to see anything, so we had two last ploys that being going to the FREE Santa Cruz museum or go to a monestary with a tour given by nuns. We didn't make either, but we did get to go into the Cathedral, we were going to stay for the installation but we decided that it would be better if we left so we could catch the train. We did take picture, we probably weren't supposed to but we did anyways and left. I still think the one in Segovia is better but then again i didn't know its history. Next and lastly we tried to go to the Santa Cruz museum because it was on our way out, that totally didn't happen and we ended up taking a detour over the old ancient bridge we wanted to walk over on our way to the train station. We got some really good pictures and that was my favorite part of the trip, I loved the moorish architecture. The only real official site we got to see was Sao Tome, which was fine, but it was just a piece of art in a chapel. I can say it is my favorite El Greco painting, and the trip to Toledo was fun because I got to load up on some treasures, some cheap other moderate. I think I will take a trip back to see the official sites. THE END.
