For anyone interested, I've placed a few photos from Spain on the MSN photo page here:

Wonderful photos, JR! Just what was in that glass you were drinking? I hope you didn't let us down,and that it was Spain's finest Remy! I'm glad you posted a few pics to share with us, it gives us a sense of how hard you were working during your trip. Of course you know I'm kidding! I'm happy for you and envious as well, that you had the opportunity to go there. I'm sure all your hard work was greatly appreciated. Glad you made it back safely too!

Wow!! I would have given my left foot to have sat on a stool next to you. That place looked so cool! Probably just a bit smokey though.

It was a great little bar in Salamanca. At the time, I was the only one smoking. Would have loved to buy you a drink. And, btw, it was an excellent Spanish brandy from Jerez.

jr~~thanks for sharing the photos...that's the closest I'll ever get to Toledo...I haven't even been to Toledo, Ohio! Beautiful photos of the city! No wonder you were posting such romantic poetry...I hope there is more to follow!
