Toledo

Last weekend we had a day trip to Toledo, España.  We traveled there by bus and only stayed in the town for about 6 hours.  While there we toured two churches and a synagogue.  There was a museum on the list of our places to visit but unfortunately it was closed when we got to the front doors. ;)  The whole group was pretty bummed... actually we were all happy since one, we were tired and two, none of us wanted to have to walk through another museum.  Toledo was a very small and old medieval town.  People were told not to wander from the group since the streets were so confusing and anyone could be get lost easily.  Cool fact: the swords that are used in the Lord of the Rings movies were made in Toledo.  A few people in my group bought some swords even!
