Sorry it's taken me so long to update. The day starts so early and ends so late here that I always seem to forget.
Last Saturday we went on an excursion to Segovia. It is a beautiful little city with some of the most gorgeous arcitecture I have ever seen! The buildings, and churches and stores are just incredibly built; most of them without cement! The majority of the streets are cobblestone which makes you feel like you've gone back in time.
Below is a picture of a small part of the huge aquaduct that runs through the city. Its gorgeous and was build simply by stacking bricks, no cement! Its so pretty and has an incredible view behind it.

One of the biggest things we saw was a gorgeous cathedral. It had been the site of many celebrations and royal weddings throughout the last few centuries. Technically, we weren't supposed to take any pictures inside, but I snuck some in just for you!
Afterwards, we saw the main attraction so to speak. In Segovia there is a castle that is said to be what inspired disney to make the logo for his company. It was absolutely incredible. Inside were gorgeous exhibits of thrones, art, and treasures. Outside were views from high up on beautiful turrets.
Im going to make a separate update for everything else!! :)
