We have not updated you for a long time. Wifi is not what we had hoped. I am typing this from a sort of internet vending machine at a campground just outside Toledo.<br><br>Now where do I start?<br><br>After Disneyland Paris, we spent a couple of days in Paris. Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triumphe, Champs Elysees check - we did them all.<br>We also visited the sewers of Paris (they are very proud of their sewer system) and ...

... political party under Franco's regime (Jose died before Franco become dictator though) . Outside, I took a few pictures. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside. After the basilica we went to El Escorial, a large monastery and the largest building built in the 15th century (I think). Our tour guide was an older man who was very funny and made everyone laugh. He was always touching people lightly on ...

... touristy trinkets, but also selling a range of swords and daggers as well as ceramic pottery. The guys bought swords and I almost bought some ceramic dishes but decided against it. After a while of wandering, we came to El Greco's house and a museum devoted to his life and works (obviously, El Greco lived in Toledo). We walked back up by the Church of Santo Tome. From there, we headed towards the Cathedral, which was very impressive from the ...

... HEmos conocido la Catedral de TOledo, el MOnasterio de San juan de los REyes, el convento de las Carmelitas Dezcalsas, en fin, despues de un poco de recorrido decidimos ir a un Irish Pub a tomar una cerveza, donde nos llevamos nuestra primera sorpresa, entrando al lugar, en la barra aproximadamente 6 hombres de cabello muy corto, con un corte militar se nos quedaron viendo fijamente, decidimos sentarnos, pero al estar sentados, las miradas hacia nosotros eran cada ves mas ...

... at our hotel, walked in, and the Pizza Hut manager asked me to translate for them, as he was trying to give them some promotional items that they were refusing, saying they didn't want to pay for them. It was a present, he insisted, and the Americans eventually left with their oil and vinegar bottles, and salt &amp; pepper shakers. Early night, more walking - around Old Madrid this time - scheduled for tomorrow. A great day ending... Buenas Noches!

... Spanien bezahlen alle gleich viel Miete, egal wie gross das Zimmer ist. Wenn also ein grosses Zimmer frei wird, wird dieses von den verbleibenden Bewohnern besetzt und der neue bekommt einfach das kleinste. Ziemlich simpel. Wenn man einzieht muss man jedoch zuerst einmal sein Zimmer gründlich putzen, denn der Vorgänger hat ja keinen Grund das Zimmer sauber zu machen, da er ja auszieht. Nur soviel, es war nicht gerade appetitlich was man da alles unter dem Bett fand. Am ...

... I staid at Hostal Adriano, which was interesting. Its a great location right near the big plazas, and a nice big bed. I got in, then went out for some jamon and sangria, which I was craving. I had a little ice cream and watched the stupid French beat Portugal. Then I came back and was exhausted so I tried to fall asleep which proved to be difficult. My room faced into a square where 3 other rooms faced. The person in the room that facing into mine had a huge window with the ...

... they might be saying. After the play ended, we set off to try to find the apartment we were renting for the weekend. It was about midnight, so the night was just beginning for many in the city. The temperature had dropped and it was drizzling just enough to be fairly miserable, and when we got off at the Tribunal stop, we promptly became lost. We had gone the completely wrong direction, it turned out. Once we were on the right street (much more difficult than it sounds) we could ...

... br>De allí me dirigí a otro templo, la iglesia de Santo Tomé, que tiene como mural una obra de El Greco llamada "El entierro del Conde de Orgaz" y para muchos su mayor creación. Cuenta la historia que el Conde de Orgaz fue un hombre muy piadoso que vivió en el siglo XIV y que donó en su testamente mucho dinero a obras de caridad. Al fallecer, dice la tradición toledana, inclusive bajaron del cielo dos santos ...
