Today we spent the day in Toledo, a beautiful medieval city an hour outside of Madrid. The city is known for its good relatoins between the Jews, Christians, and Muslims who setttled here, at least until the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. We walked through the old, cobblestoned streets past the Jewish quarter and saw architectural highlights and beautiful xhurches. Highlights were a gorgeous El Greco painting called The Burial of the Count of Orgaz and what's called the largest cathedral in Europe. It was a rainy day so you'll have to identify kids by hood and umbrella color!
