Hi, y’all. I’m in the heart of La Macha headed towards Toledo and Madrid. So far I have been to Granada for the Alhambra, Sevilla for a cathedral and an alcazar, then Cordoba for another cathedral that used to be a mosque. Ciudad Real is small and less of a tourist destination which leads me to believe that it might be more like actual life in Spain. It’s also one of the many places that has adopted Don Quixote as a favorite son, so three days ago was the anniversary of Cervantes birthday and there are still flowers and candles on all of the statues around town.
Headed for Toledo, listening to the Cumberland Blues. I’ll compare it to Ohio when I get back.
New pix are loaded to flickr - most of the shots up through February are there. LIONS AND GIRAFFES AND HEFFALUMPS!
