Holy Toledo!

Hi everyone! This past weekend I went to Madrid to see Malerie and her Mom. I met them in their hotel and afterwards we went out to see Madrid. We started at El Rastro, a big flea market that takes place every Sunday in Madrid. We shopped and looked, afterwards we stopped for lunch in a bar close to the market. Then we walked to the palace (which was closed Sunday for election day), the Plaza Mayor, Sol and saw the sights. The next day we got up and went to the train station and caught the next train to Toledo. This was my first time on any train in Spain, we took the AVE which is a high speed train, it was a very smooth ride. Once in Toledo we hiked up to the city from the bus station. I really liked the city. The charming narrow mid-evil streets, the castle and the Cathedral give it such great character. We only had about 5 hours in the city, I would love to go back sometime. Over all the weekend was great! It was really good to see Mal and her Mom and to spend time with them! This weekend its off to Salamanca again, I promise I will take photos this time and post them! I also this week will be posting some shots from around Soria so check back for that!
