Toledo is a fascinating city from a historical standpoint, being a rare example of Christians, Jews, and Muslims living in relative peace, cooperation and harmony for hundreds of years. There's a super fast train that takes you from Madrid to Toledo in 25 minutes, which was perfect. Unfortunately, it was pouring buckets all day, and Laura and I were drenched before we even made it to our early morning mass. We got through most of the day by going out and exploring for an hour or so at a time, and then retreating to a lovely little cafe that served us a few of the Spanish foods Laura hadn't tried yet.

While it was cold, windy, and very very wet, we still had fun at the beautiful synagogues and the breathtaking cathedral.

 One of my favorite El Greco paintings is this depiction of the derobing of Christ, and it was great to see it again.
