Toledo

We just spent four days in Toledo and now we’re on our way to Cordoba. Its about 40 students with three professors and I really like them so far. The seminar is studying the history of Islam, Judaism, and Catholicism and tracing their histories through the cities where they merged. In Toledo, we went to the first primary Cathedral in Spain and I got to go to mass there this morning. We had a great hour long lecture sitting in front of an El Greco painting and went to the central Synagogue of Spain from the 1200s. Lucia and I did a lot of wandering around the tiny streets and tried our luck conversing in Spanish. We had lunch yesterday at a Pakistani restaurant on the outskirts of the town and watched the Simpsons in Spanish. Its not quite the same thing.
