A day with Mom/Grams

I got to go to Toledo with my mom, which was a treat. Toledo as a previous capital to Visigothic Spain and home to famous artists like El Greco, has an important history. We did not have much time that day, so we arrived before the city was awake and saw only El Entierrro del Conde de Orgaz (which houses a famous painting by El Greco) and the cathedral. Both were beautiful. We also enjoyed a wonderful lunch of tapas and beer.

Construction for this cathedral began in the 1200s. It's huge and the best art collection I have seen in a cathedral yet.

This is town hall. Very impressive in size, it sits across from the Cathedral.

My pretty mom.

Toledo is famous for their work with steel, particularly of swords. The Cathedral is in the background.

Made of marzapan if you can believe it!


The tapas were almost as good as the company. We threw our napkins on the grounds like old champs.

The train station-very impressive. Inside, it has a lot of fancy woodwork.

After leaving Toledo, we we to Alcala de Henares to pick up the kids from school. We stopped to greet Don Quixote and his pal , pancho. then, we got ice cream. What fun with Grams.
