Michelle's dad and I went to Toledo for a day while he was in town. We walked all over and saw the cathedral, military museum, and a lot of shops and things. This was the first time I had been in the Cathedral and it was stunning. There are more pictures from my visit with Christian and Stephanie last November here.
This is the main bell in Toledo's bell tower. There were 13 bells, all from different years in varying tones. This one was only rung once, and then it cracked. No bishop had ever been brave enough to try ringing it again for fear of breaking it and forever being known as the bishop that broke the bell. The support beams are all made of Alamo Negro (black poplar) which was abundant in Spain.
This is the view from the top looking toward the old alcazar, or fortress on top of the hill.
This is looking out the opposite side at the undeveloped land outside of old Toledo.
