In just a few days I have seen and experienced many new things, too many to reconstruct properly with words. Perhaps, more photos will do. Here is a photograph of a trip I took to Toledo this past weekend. Toledo was the original capital of Spain and has a deep history. The streets are barely wide enough for a car, yet thousands of tourists and cars push their way through every day. We walked through a Jewish temple, El Greco´s famous painting The Funeral, and an enormous gothic cathedral. The cathedral was by far my favorite portion of the trip.
It was a fine portrayal of man´s capability of expression. The place seemed very sancitified with its ornate qualities. The intricacies were difficult to comprehend because they were so abundant. There were choir seats looking like royal thrones, each hand carved with a unique Biblical scene pained above each chair. Through and through the cathedral was magnificent. There were also many paintings in the church, but it was hard to take in even more art by the end of the tour.
With sky scraping, gothic architecture rupturing the rocky mountain side one couldn´t help themself imagine they were perhaps in Gondohr.
