Segovia



Today we went on a free trip to Segovia through our program. We went out the night before and we were all pretty tired but this trip was well worth it. The city was only about an hour away by bus and from the moment we got there, we could tell how gorgeous everything was going to be. Two main things that we saw were the aqueducts and the Alcazar. The aqueducts were insanely cool and they stretched far throughout the city. The Alcazar was amazing. It was a serious castle. It was built on a rocky crag and has an astounding presence. We walked around in small groups throughout the whole castle and saw everything from the armory to the King's bedroom. We spent the whole day walking around and looking at all the beautiful architecture of the city. After our tour of Segovia, we went to eat at this little restaurant that turned out to be very fancy. We had a six course meal the consisted of many many things to eat. It was amazing. We were given four different appetizers, salad, big pieces of roast chicken and an amazing dessert. On that bus ride home, we were all FAST asleep. Tonight I am just laying low and going to bed early. I am very tired from all the other nights of going out and it is taking its toll. I have maybe 30% of my voice. Oh well, time for bed.
