Our Trip to Toledo

Taking a 30 minute train ride to Toledo, we enjoyed the medieval town and a tour of the old Sephardic synagogue museum, built prior to the expolsion of Jews from Spain in 1492.
Toledo is on a hill top with narrow and winding streets. After seeing one too many repeative tourist shops, we made our way back to the tourist office and asked where the nice shopping and cafe lined streets could be found. With our poor Spanish language, and their lesser ability of speaking English, we thought we communicated our desire. So the ladies put us on a bus and 20 minutes later, the bus driver pointed us to another bus where we finally ended up at the local mall and our cafe was the food court! We´re getting tired and our research and tour plans are not as detailed as they once were.

P.S. True Story....Spain is the most security conscience country that we have visited. We were asked to present our passports upon arriving at the first Spainish train station, nowhere else have we been asked, including airports within Europe, only first point of entry. Every train we have taken in Spain has had a security check point and purse/luggage scanner. Glenn purchased a hunting knife with a 5 inch blade in Toledo. Glenn was asked to put this package through the scanner. The Police asked to look at the package more closely and then had Roz stuff the knife in her small purse. The Policeman watched Roz zip up her purse and had her promise not to open it on the train!
