It can get cold in Spain?

Its December! Its cold.  I'm cold.  Our heater is temporarily broken so I've been packing on the layers and spending much more time in bed than I should. For some reason I had figured that Spain doesn't really get that cold.  I was wrong, when I visited Spain two years earlier in February, it was Burma in comparison to Germany, but I was also nearer to the coast, apparently here in the center during the winter months it stays around freezing.  Not cold enough for snow of course, but cold enough that I'm mad that there isn't any.

I went to El Greco's house! Lovely place

Michaela and I went to Toledo!  Its only about an hour or so from Madrid by bus, so it makes a lovely day trip.  As you can see, Toledo was wonderfully picturesque, all the buildings a varying shade of terracotta, and cobblestone streets. A very old city, Toledo used to be the capital of Spain, and is particularly interesting because of it was a city where Jews, Christans, and Arabs all lived together for centuries, which spurned a odd mix of architecture that you can still see today. Toledo is famous for its Mazapan, which I think is like Marzipan, but the difference was never clear to me.  There might be a difference in the sugar to almond ratio.  Michaela and I were rather confounded when looking to buy Mazapan, for there seemed about 100 different types. The city was beautiful, but my favorite part of it was by the river that surrounds Toledo.  We spent much of our time there.  There were old arched bridges, and crumbling stone buildings, the whole thing seemed much like a fairy-tale, or at least something that would inspire a fairy-tale.  I was so happy to hear how silent it was. Toledo also has a big sword reputation, and lots of armor. 
  I went and saw the Life of Pi in theaters!(English of course) absolutely amazing, hopefully this weekend I'll go to the Hobbit. I think Spanish like to go to the cinema more often than Americans, its quite common here. In a week I take the train to Germany!

FAIRY-TALE LAND!
