I didn't realize that it IS possible to walk uphill both ways...

So today I was feeling lazy and today I replaced my daily run on the Ruta de Don Quixote with a walk,  but I made it worthwhile and took lots and lots of pictures for all of you - enjoy!

     I seriously can't get enough of the cathedral - it's so beautiful!
This is the view I get to see every time I go running - I don't know if I'll ever get tired of this honestly!
A view of the Alcazar.

The Tagus River

So here's a little history lesson for all of you - Spain was occupied by the Romans in ancient times and Toledo has tons and tons and TONS of ancient Roman ruins. These are the Baños de Tenerias. As a group we went yesterday to view the Temple of Hercules (which was later turned into a mosque when the Moors invaded and then later a church whent he Visigoths took control.)

 

 
 These last two are of the Herculean Temple/Mosque/Church

This is my favorite picture from the entire day :)

And this was the path I had to take home - I swear I walked uphill both ways today! I'm going to have the best calves EVER by the end of this trip!

Hope you enjoyed :)
