Paseo por Río
... to the Disney castle whenever they talk to me about it, and it really is like it. I wish I could've seen what it was like in its heyday, because now (I can only assume) only certain areas are open to the public. Next week the class is going on a guided tour of Segovia so I can only assume that the castle will be part of it. We'll see!

The last day
... a summer residence and hunting palace of the monarchs of Castile during the Middle Ages. The castle was a key fortress for control over the Castile region of Spain. In 1862, the original castle burned down and was rebuilt. The reconstruction then was used as a prison, a Royal Artillery School, and currently, a museum.
In the evening, we celebrate - to new traveling companions/ friends, wonderful experiences and 18 days of treasured memories!
