Holy Toledo!

Our first day trip of the trip took us to the lovely city of Toledo. It's a small town of 10,000 known for it's religious diversity, mazapan, and metal work.

Getting to Toledo was relatively simple. After a quick metro ride, we arrived at the station. We printed out our tickets, went thru security, and hoped onto our train. The thirty minute ride went by quickly as we read about Toledo and enjoyed the views of the Spanish countryside. We arrived at the edge of town and made our across the river and up the hills into the city. After getting a latte we hoped onto the touristy train vision. It was essentially a little three car trolley that took us around town, while providing some great history about the city .

Next, we visited the alcazar which contains the Spanish army museum. It contains a huge collections of minatures of various militaries from across the world.

Following lunch we went to the famous ToledoToledo cat. It was absolutely gorgeous and incredibly detailed. 


After visiting a few smaller churches and a mosque-turned-syagouge, we headed to the Zipline. I was a bit nervous as I stepped into the harness, but by the time I stepped up to the edge I was purely excited. It was an absolutely gorgeous view, flying across the river.
