Segovia

The whole reason this city even entered my brain was from reading a hotel review on tripadvisor.com. The city is beautiful and very reminiscent of Toledo, which I toured when I studied here and dragged Megan Walsh to when we backpacked. There's a castle, cathedral, and aqueduct, and I loved all three. The aqueduct was my favorite for its architectural feat, however the "true" castle was Erin's favorite. The castle had these really cool circular poles in the tower, which reminded me of the "amusement park" game I had as a kid (remember that girls? Mom and Dad still have it in my old closet, purple box and people with "key feet"). Anyways, the city was beautiful, everything in walking distance. The cathedral was absolutely massive, as seen in the pictures. There are 23 chapels in it, all are beautiful. The castle was so well kept that it looked fake. We climbed up the tower, which was 152 steps and I have to admit I needed to stretch my legs afterwards. My poor body needs a gym! We headed back to Madrid and enjoyed our last night with some locals, very entertaining, as the language barrier and slang can confuse even Americans. I love Spain, and am reminded every time I am here that I could live in this country. Who says I need to go back to the U.S. ha-ha.
