Toledo

Wow. Toledo is amazing.  It’s such an old city! We took a walking tour today and saw some pretty amazing sights.  Toledo is more than 3000 years old and had a fairly large history even in the B.C. days!!  We walked in a cathedral “San Juan de los Reyes” built by Fernando and Isabel in like 1470 something, and then walked into a synagogue built by the Arabic’s in like the 1300s, saw Greco’s master piece, and walked up and down cobblestone roads barely wide enough for people!  The architecture here is phenomenal.  I’m just amazed at the fact that they were even able to build stuff like that way back then!! It’s not like they had cranes or automatic machinery that would make the job any easier..it’s just unreal.  Every time we visit an attraction it literally feels like I’m going back in time.  These sites are just the same as they were 700 years ago.  Nothing about these buildings has been replaced, maybe a few paint jobs here and there, but the foundation, walls, statues, carvings, everything else is still the original piece!! Now a days we can’t even get our cell phones to stay intact!  These monuments have with stood time and weather like it’s no big deal!  Hopefully they will last for a long time to come.

Oh! Note about the phone, to actually get connected to call my cell phone you have to dial…
