Madrid: Friday

Today we planned to go to Toledo, a small town half an hour outside of Madrid by train. When we got to the train station, we missed the first train standing in line to get tickets. Then the second train was sold out. So we ended up on the 12:20 train to Toledo. So we spent the morning wandering the main shopping streets in town. When we did finally get to Toledo, we climbed up the hill the city sits on to see a variety of really old buildings (surprise), including a Synagogue, the Cathedral, a hospital, and several others. The cathedral was gigantic and magnificent. (Luckily, we weren't allowed to take photos inside, or I think we might still be there.) We wandered back to the train station to catch our (sold out) train back to Madrid. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the holiday lights that workers have been putting up the past couple of days were all lit up. We wandered through the streets looking at the lights and the crowds and ended up back at our hotel. We're waiting on a couple of friends who are joining us for the weekend before we head back out to dinner.
