Todedo cont

Sunday in Toledo was hot and busy with heaps of tourists. Funny, but I didn't feel like a real tourist from abroad as I am studying here in Spain. Weird, because I was a tourist from overseas. I did the sites until it was time to check out of the hostel, had yet another shower ( am VERY clean here in Spain - lots of showers because it is so hot). I caught the tourist bus to the train station and had a very quiet trip back to Madrid.
I could see the monument at Valle de los Caidos (Valley of the Fallen) that Franco had built. His crypt is there, and it is supposed to be a monument for all who were killed in the Civil War. I had taken a video of it from the plane on the way into Madrid the first time.
This photo is in Toledo and the tall hombre with me is  Cervantes  who wrote Don Quijote.
