Holy Toledo!

Our day began cold and rainy walking for 20 minutes up hill and over 7 flights of stairs to enter Toledo. We came to an unassuming cathedral that was simply breathtaking once we entered. It was giant with room after room of sculpture, tapestries, gilded sculptures and frescos. I have never been speechless in my life until that moment. After hours in the cathedral we wandered the streets in search of food and synagogues. The phrase "Holy Toledo!" comes from this city because of the wealth of religious buildings in such a small area. This small walled city has been a highlight of the trip.
