SPAIN

I just got back from a wonderful vacation to Spain.
We had so much fun and saw so many cool things. There is probably WAY too much to share here, so I won't even try.

We stayed in Madrid, with Rachel's Aunt and Uncle. We mostly stayed in Madrid and saw a lot of things in the city, but a couple days we ventured out to see other cities. We saw art museums, old Mosques, Synagogues, and Cathedrals, as well as the royal palace. It was such a good trip. I would love to go back and visit again! Below are some of the pics from our vacation.

A busy street in Madrid, near the Puerta del Sol.

Aunt Mollie and I outside the Cathedral in Toledo.

Rachel on a street in Toledo.

(Toledo is an ancient walled-in city. All of the streets are really small like this)

A famous statue in the Plaza Mayor.

A picture of me in the open square of an old church in Toledo, over looking the Cloisters below. Rachel would not let me pose as Evita Peron in this picture. (Although, the picture does not show me singing 'Don't Cry For Me Toledo' to the patrons below j/k)

Rachel outside the Royal Palace.

I felt right at home there...

Another street in Madrid, with some art deco buildings.

Me outside the medieval walls of Avila.

Rachel's Uncle Nicasio is talking to a random stranger in the background.

The Basilica de San Vicente. A 12th Century romanesque Church, where we attended Mass. It was really awesome to attend a real mass in a church that old, even though we couldn't understand a word of it!

A lake at the Retiro Parque in Madrid.

Rachel in Madrid with her Spanish Fan (all the rage!) My favorite picture!
