So after stuffing our faces with tapas the night before, we arose pretty early Saturday morning and walked to the train station.
Our destination was Toledo. This little city is about a 30 minute train ride from Madrid. Like Granada, you instantly feel like you're seeing the real Spain when you're there. I don't really remember all of the history, and I would botch it if I tried... look it up on Wikipedia. Trust me, you might be amazed :)
It's one of those cities that you immediately feel cozy in. I think there are only about 80,000 citizens, and it has definitely maintained that village/small town vibe. Unfortunately, it was REALLY cold and windy that day, so parts of the tour weren't very enjoyable and I didn't "absorb" it like I should have. I really should have done this a long time ago because now I can't remember much! I'll just let the pictures do the talking :)
The next to last picture is most of the group at lunch in Toledo. It was in this restaurant that I discovered a hole in the crotch of my favorite pair of jeans. Awesome.
The trip was really fun though. Now I'll leave you with the view from the room Porschia and I were in.
That crazy lit up roof is the roof of a club in Madrid. We were told that it's "where all the pretty people go."

Wow that view is amazing!
Child, it is time to get rid of those jeans. I can take the holes in the knees and even the ripped pockets - but really - it is definitely time to retire that particular pair.....
