Chris and Kristin spent 2 nights in Toledo, Spain. It was a 4 to 5hr drive so that gave them an evening and a full day. Why Toledo, you ask? As I did. An interest in witchcraft and magic, was the answer.
Toledo, Spain, is historically renowned as a major center of medieval magic, sorcery, and Inquisition-era witch trials,
often referred to as a "city of witches" and alchemists in folklore. It
served as a hub for alleged underground schools of necromancy and was a
focal point for the Spanish Inquisition to suppress heresy. From AI summary.
The following are pictures that Christine sent me. They were not labeled so I am not sure what they are of specifically.
 |
| This may be from their hotel. They both commented that it was very hilly. In contrast to here and Valencia, both of which are dead flat. |
 |
| They also said it was very cold. It is in Central Spain |
 |
| The old section has narrow streets. |
 |
| They went to the Cathedral, that Chris said was huge and beautiful. |
 |
| They also had a walking tour and visited the museum of magic. |
 |
| When they got back they just had time to pack and then take a brief walk on the beach at dusk, as they flew home the next day. |
 |
| Collecting stones for Kristin's collection (she had 12lbs to spare in her suitcase) |
 |
| I dislike having my picture taken but sometimes you just have to let it happen. |
 |
| We noticed new additions to the beach. |
 |
| No idea what that's all about but I will keep an eye on the progress. |
 |
| This little bird almost looks like a British Robin but the breast is very pale. The female of the species does have a paler, more orange breast but not this pale, so I don't think it is. Most British Robins are non migratory but some do fly south to Spain. |
 |
| Chris left me a book to read (The Nightingale), multiple electric plug adapters and they left these 2 transportation passes that still have 6 trips on them. |
It was lovely having them visit but the time flew by.
