Back in Lux

We spent out last day in Toledo, a middelaged city 70 km south from Madrid. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural and monumental heritage as one of the former capitals of the Spanish Empire. The architecture is amazing fusing islamic, jewish and christian iconography in temples, cathedrals and churches. The city was also the home of the famous spanish mannerist painter El Greco. Kari and I went to see one of his exhibitions! I love his strong use of color! We also took a tour around the city seeing the beautiful wall once served to protect Toledo.

I are now however back in Lux after 3 wonderfull weeks in Madrid. Kari is already in Norway at our summer house. I will be leaving later today! :) Can't wait for spending some nice weeks by the ocean with the family!
