Toledo

My experience in Spain has been nearly perfect thus far, and, as it comes to a close, I have only one regret....my blog is so not up to date! It is, however, fun to look back through my pictures and recap my adventures as I slowly but surely recount the time here. I apologize if the written descriptions get slightly neglected in these next few, but, lets be honest, you all really read for the pictures anyways :) Next on my list is to update: Toledo....

Toledo, the city on the hill, is just a short ride outside of Madrid. Known for its swords, Greco painting, and Cathedral (como todos los ciudades aqui), Toledo harmonizes three of the most distinct cultures in the world. It is a perfect conglomeration of Christian, Moorish, and Jewish culture which can be seen in the architecture, structure, and general atmosphere of the city. It is one of the few cities in the world where these three cultures were actually able to coexist peacefully for a time (albeit a very short time) and thus exhibits a ambiance entirely its own.
