Hotel Hilton Buenavista Toledo

... photos. <br><br>Friday morning we left our bags at the train station and crossed the street to the Museo Reina Sofia, which is home to Picasso&#8217;s Guernica. There is other modern art there but the audioguide descriptions were so pretentious that we abandoned it quickly. Guernica was, however, worth the trip &#8211; stunning and powerful. War is bad, very very bad. <br><br>We took the short train ride to Toledo and eventually got to our hotel (strategic ...

... chance to see on of Spain's olderst Synagouges. It was definitely less lavish then the cathedral, but was still a sight to see. We then finished up our trip shopping for trinkets and headed out.<br><br><br>We returned to madrid, ate some more of Rolando&#8217;s home cooking and then met some of rachel&#8217;s friends at a "cave bar" which is the coolest thing ever. It is in a cellar/basement, decked out in art ...

... navigate, but that's what appealed to us the most. Every street end brought us closer or farther away from where we wanted to be, every step, a risk we had to take on our adventure. Unlike the city, there weren't people being intimate in the park or teens getting drunk straight from the bottle in the street. There really is no point to drinking alcohol so carelessly especially in the streets of Toledo, where cars are ...

... his talk. It definately pays to be patient. The next stop was a small Museum about the Visigoths. But it was being renovated, and didn´t have any English information, so that was a bit of a waste. By midday we ambled down to the bank of the Rio Taja and follwed it to a Castle. The beautiful old building had been converted into a YHA! We pretended to be staying there and gave ourselves a tour but it wasn´t that exciting inside. Afterwards, we went to ...

... by Isabel two years ago). It didn't look too busy or that great so we decided on another tapas place. We had some fried shrimps, manchego cheese, calamari romesco, carcamusas (some kind of tasty stew - thought it could have been dog, but it turned out to be pork), and some garlic shrimp. It wasn't the best food (typical of Spain!) but it was good value for 15 euros for the two of us (including 3 glasses of wine). Our ...

... denn hi** hat man auch am Abend Vorlesungen), doch ich w**de schon noch etwas finden das mir passt. Denn sonst komme ich kugelrund nach Hause. OK, vielleicht auch nur oval, bei meinen Voraussetzungen. An den nächsten Wochenende möchte ich ein bisschen die Umgebung auskundschaften und w**de deshalb auch wied** mal etwas zu schreiben wissen. Hasta luego y un gran abrazo Don Kusi PS: Ich gebe mir Mühe ein bisschen öft**s zu schreiben, damit es nicht imm** einen solchen Brocken gibt.

... map" it seemed the station was very near and it was downhill so I decided to walk along the outer city walls... However, the Spanish heat was never to be underestimated. With a lack of water (no shops ...

... as it wasn't my inclination or intention before hand. Tonight Neil and I went and had a ggreat dinner - trout cooked Basque style, rice curry with seafod, wine, wiskey torte, 8.50E! He took me to a restaurant he liked as a student. We had dinner early - 9:30 PM. I feel as I write kind of scared about changing my plans, weirdly guilty, excited and proud. Maybe we'll leave for the Camino day after tomorrow. Or, not.

... I'm way in over my head if knowing what I'm doing is any criteria. I'm very tired all of a sudden. When I got the room (about 1300 on June 2, I think), I took a siesta which turned out to be two hours. I've already learned that my damn back pack is too heavy but I don't know what to ditch yet. I just got back from having a cervesa and a "Spanish omlett" which turned out to be like cold potatoes au graten or something. It's ...

... s pages. Things got heated, with palms slapping the bar and voices raised. The bar lady kept cutting them off, yelling 'Jose! Jose!' and 'Pepe! Pepe!' until, fuming, they stormed from the bar, only to reappear minutes later chastised. I left them arguing about the referring in a recent Barcelona match. 'Buenas noches,' the lady managed to call in the middle of another heated exchange. It was furious stuff but it is these locals that are saving Toledo from fast becoming a tourist barrio.
