DAY 11 - TOLEDO

Toledo is quite the interesting city in that it has three major cultures: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It was the formal capital of Spain. Even though it was a rainy day, we were able to walk around Toledo's streets (with all the crazy drivers!) and shop. CSA's history teacher toured us around Toledo and told us about la Catedral and Alcázar. The majority of the US Navy's swords are made in Toledo, Spain. We didn't go into the big factory of swords where these come from, but we were also able to enter a small workshop.
