The rain in Toledo falls mainly on the train station, but it´s pretty wet everywhere else too.
Ola blog!
today i was unhappily awoken by mother telling me that we had to go to Toledo, no, we are not fleeing the country, we had to catch the Ave, a high speed train ((:
anyway, so i woke up, put my new shoes on and eventually (after a scan of my baggage) got on the Ave, a high speed train... and fell asleep. not gonna go into details or anything people but when i woke up, there was drool (: anyway, i wake up and look out of the window of the Ave, a high speed train, and what do i see??
I SEE BLOODY SLUDGE!!!
(aparently it is called sleet by some people)
anyway, back to SLUDGE!! on the last day of my spanish holiday and i see sludge! so i jump off the Ave, a high speed train and sprint, literally sprint, into the station. then we get a bus into the centre, and although there are no computers to be seen, i´m totally in the zone for some blogging, but the lack of computers, internet cafe´s or wi-fi zones makes me a bit sad )): and also that i have to listen to mum rambling on about thimbles. could she have picked a better subject of conversation? yes, she could have. a dead leaf on the bottom of someone´s shoe could have.
when we get to the centre of Toledo, we spend alot of time in tourist shops, looking for Toledo-wear thimbles. Toledo-wear is this random expensive gold/silver stuff that people make by hand. and eventually we find some (quite cheap but that´s because only a bit of it was Toledo-wear) and we buy one for me and mairi. Then we go into other various tourist shops, which slowly become exclusively Toledo-wear shops, including one owned by this really nice guy who gave me and gabriel a free pendant each ((: and then we went round various museums, churches, etc, and gabriel and i had deep heart felt discussions about the mighty boosh. then the time came to again board the Ave, a high speed train and go home, and yes, i did sleep again, and yes, there may have been some drooling :S
we got to the train station and i saw this pond with tortoises in it, so that was pretty normal, and now i´m back at the hotel, mum´s going for a run (in the snow), gabriel´s going to have a shave and then a siesta, and dad´s of course going to have a nice, long bath in a suspiciously short bath tub.
i´m going to go now, goodbye computer, i´ll see your glaswegian cousin later tommorrow!
