Well, I'm here! I'm Sevilla Spain. It is a great city so far. I've not had the chance to see much of it but here are some pictures from my second day in Madrid and Toledo.

Madrid
This is where one of my favorite paintings is housed. The Garden of Earthly Delights. I never thought I'd get to see it in person but I did.

This is the Cathedral in Madrid. It is massive. It is not even listed as the biggest in Spain, That going to the one in Sevilla. As big as that one is I can't wait to see the other.

Toledo
Carlos V coat of arms. This was on every entrance to the city. It was a greeting from the Emperor. 

Chains on the side of the church. They are there to show the freedom of the Christians who were enslaved by the Moors. The church was here Isabella and Ferdinand were suppose to be buried but were not.

Me and my friend Don Quixote. Toledo is where the author was born and raised.

The pizza I had for dinner. Yes I had pizza in Spain. Someone at another table had some and it looked amazing and it WAS!

A group of us at dinner. We are all making friends.
