We found our way to the the train, and tickets, and our friends for a day trip to Toledo, less than an hour ride from Madrid.
Castles, cathedrals, and sword fighting.
More winding cobblestone streets to wander...especially interesting with strollers.
Bustling walkways.
By the cathedral.
In the cathedral...actually a very popular place...but I found a single instant of quiet.
A happy knight at an exhibition on the Knights Templar.
After sunset in the park, and a bite to eat, we raced back to the station to catch the last train back to Madrid (cue Indiana Jones theme song as we rush across the bridge out of town).
