Day 1 and 2 - Madrid & Toledo

So the trip started rather interesting. The flight from London to Madrid was only about half full. Then when we got there, mind you it was a Friday at 7.30. The place was deserted, I mean not a sole neither employees or travelers. We later found out it was the Spanish cup, in Madrid. The soccer game that compares to our super bowl. Europeans love their soccer.

So we stayed the night in Toledo and the next day took a tour of the Spain military museum in the alcazar of Toledo. Saw some cool stuff and learned a lot of political oddities. Guess one king Marie's off his two daughters to Austria and France or Italy don't recall completely. But then 200 years later grandsons from those lines caused the civil war. 
 Today we're near Marbella. The biggest strange thing here is everyone speaks English and your choice of food is Chinese or English. We had to go up to the next town, esteone to get a Spanish style meal. It was a fish place we ate at an Quinn was gunho about the shrimp on the menu, that is until they came out with heads and legs still attached. It was a classic face.
