Hi Everybody!!!!
(deeeep breath) Ah yes... here I am.. writing you direct from my favorite place on our earth. While I won´t bore you with many details here, you can, if interested, read MadridMan\'s Daily Online Journal .

But things are fine here. Very fine. In fact, very lazy at the moment but this is the first weekend of my arrival which is usually like "the calm before the storm". Monday/tomorrow starts 10-12 hour days on my feet sight-seeing, photographing, traveling, running, eating, visiting, learning, meeting, and other things that will cause my feet to ache by evening and force me to sleep soundly each night.

I love it here. I love it here. I feel very much "at home".

I´ll update this thread from time to time but the bulk of the information will be on the journal . Now.... it´s time for PAELLA!! :p

Saludos, laugh MadridMan

Hey, MM, great story of your travels in Toledo! It's sad that the Alcázar was closed, but there's so much else to see in Toledo that I am sure you still felt that it was a wonderful trip.

I love the church of San Juan de los Reyes, and also the church of Santa Maria la Blanca (which is Toledo's oldest synagogue, and was later reconsecrated as a church)--those would be worthwhile stops on your next trip!

Did you get the "AudioGuide" for the cathedral? We did that and were really glad of it. It told us lots of details about what we were seeing in that amazing place!

I am GREEN with envy about your Fanta Limón, BTW.
