This isn't the Toledo I know!

We had a group trip to Toledo this past Sunday. We got up bright and early on Sunday morning so we could leave Madrid on the 9:20 train. We took the Ave, which is Spain's fast train. It only took half an hour! Fast. I was particularly looking forward to this trip since Toledo reminds me an awful of another city I've been to... Toledo, Spain however is absolutely NOTHING like my home town.First of all Toledo, Spain is really old. It's be around way longer than Madrid and was actually the capital of Spain until the 16th century. Toledo is filled with churches. We made it to about 6 of them, including the cathedral.We couldn't take pictures inside, but it's over the top ornate. There are bishops and royals buried right in the middle of the floor as well as under the alter and in any number of the cathedral's 20 plus chapels.
We also made it to San Juan de los Reyes a convent that Isabella and Ferdinand had build to house their graves.In the afternoon we had 2 hours of free time, which we used to explore the city a little more. I bought some really cute leather saddles for 5 euro (that's US$7)!! Exciting! I also got some great Toledo pictures.I took this picture in one of the churches we went to. At first all I saw was the tragic scene of some guy who was just killed. Then I noticed the guy on the left hand side. I think I laughed for a good ten minutes.
By far, the best mullet I've seen was in Toledo. I couldn't resist taking a picture. One of the girls in our group wants to make an album of all the mullets she's seen. I thought I'd do my part to contribute.Toledo is known for it's swords and blades (hence the Toledo Blade). There were tons of store windows like this throughout the whole city. What you'd do with any number of these knives, I don't know. Although, I think the more important question is how you get them through customs.
I'm pretty sure the highlight of my trip was finding the Calle de Toledo de Ohio!!!
