Tagus River
This actually is the same river that flows through Lisbon! Can't write much today - mainly because I forgot my computer plug in Madrid, and my laptop is almost out. Fortunately I connect back in Madrid tomorrow, and the hotel has it. Thank God.
Toledo today, just briefly, was brutally hot, although it truly is a beautiful town. A lot like an Italian hill town again. Tons of walking and sweating. Toledo, also, most famously, is the town of El Greco, and his art is everywhere here. There's also an absolutely massive Cathedral. I'll probably write more once I have my cord back, but for now the pictures should suffice.
Looks like the battery is holding out, so I'll write a bit more. Caught the train from Madrid Atocha, and actually had to go through security, like an airport. But they did have a terrorist attack here awhile back, so I guess it makes sense. Also, since I'm basically just rambling, and writing whatever comes into my head, Toledo has once of the largest cathedrals I've been to in Spain, but honestly I really wasn't that impressed. Maybe I'm just jaded, though - having been to too many cathedrals recently. But in Spain I've noticed a lot of cathedrals
Santa Cruz Museum
Great El Greco's here. are just too over-done. Like there's too much clutter everywhere. I like simpler places.
Okay, batteries going down, but all should be well tomorrow. Sorry for the mad ravings.
