23 June-Andy's Version

Today we went to Toledo. Toledo is an hour ride outside of Madrid. It was the old capital of Spain. It was the happening place back when Queen Isabella was going to the cathedral in Toledo. The cathedral was massive! The whole town still has tons of money. They still make gold jewerly and lots of knives and swords. It was neat to see them making gold jewerly. One of the things that was most interesting in Toledo was how tight everything was. They drive cars down "streets" we would condsider to be an alley way. Our first run in with a car in Toledo included our entire group of 22 needing to step inside of a store so the car could drive down the road.  We are leaving for Granada in the morning. I hope it is not too hot. Today in Madrid it hit 36 C. I think that comes out to be 97 F. That is rough when we are walking up hill both ways towards anything.----Andy
