Today´s when all the touring started.  We went a group of people the city of Toledo (pronounced To-lay-do). It was kinda sweet being from the University of Toledo but we got some strange looks when we were prounouncing it like we do in the States.  Our guided tour was arranged by the university in Spain and we went to a cathedral and synagogue.  The cathedral was amazing!! I have never seen so much gold in my life... One room had gifts given to the cathedral from all over the world.  A crown from a queen, Isobel I think, and others.  There was also a small plaque sent from Toledo, Ohio!!! Pretty cool.  There was also a street in Toledo honorarily named La Calle de Toledo Ohio.  (Toledo, Ohio) street.  The city itself is beautiful but the streets away from the center of the city are narrow and sometimes you have to press yourself flat against a building to avoid being hit by passing car´s mirrors! I´m suprised I´m not roadkill already!
