Day 45 - Blogabond

Drove to Toledo and visited the Alcazar, Museo de Santa Cruz, a long lunch, found a wonderful antique store -- AVIS ALQUILE UNCOCHE -- where mom bought a menorah and we heard all about Spanish Jewish history and the judaica collection. The place had a mikvah in the basement. (Note -- writing this more than 30 years later, when I took Ellery to Spain in 2001, I again found this store and purchased another piece of judaica from the same collection -- 25 years later!).

We went to the Synagogue de Santa Maria la Blanca, Santa Tome Cathedral (where the El Greco painting "Burial de Conte Orgaz" is), the Santa Iglesia Cathedral Primada.
