La Casa Mudejar Segovia

... worked and lived in Seattle. The mother related to me because she also traveled through Europe on her own at the age of 22. The three of them had started in Barcelona and were traveling around Spain for a few weeks. I liked that the daughter even at the age of 30 was happy to travel around with her parents. I hope to do the same some day.<br><br>We caught the number 8 bus and it did in fact drop us right at the foot of the Roman aqueducts. When ...

... and with the amazing artworks, and two huge organs make this a must see in Segovia. <br><br>We explored the area around Plaza Mayor - lots of little shops set amongst cloisters along with the usual souvenir shops. Kev found a bakery and we sat down for a well earned (but not terribly good) coffee and some pastries, which were beautifully wrapped and enclosed in their own box. The wrapping was a work of art and it seemed a shame to open them - but we were hungry, as the ...

... br><br>The city had a lot of good shopping, and seemed to be really geared towards tourists. I bought a flag of Spain to hang in my room. We finished off the day with a few pitchers of Sangria. <br><br>Spanish lesson of the day: Do not use the feminine form of "chicken" to refer to chicken. Even if it is a female. Pollo is chicken. Polla is a derogatory name for male genitalia. <br>Ohhhh the things we learn the hard way......<br>

... I was obviously too fixated on the fact that there were 3 suckling pigs in front of me, more or less. There were 3 waiters accompanying the table of pigs and one man, who looked like the Pig-Figurehead who was about to proceed in a ceremony in some way to commemorate the eating of these pigs. This pig-man, who seemed to be the director/owner of the restaurant, read us some sort of scroll that we could barely understand due to his broken ...

... in some of the little shops and cafes. We only had an hour, but it was enough. Then, we met at the Plaza Mayor (again, main square) in front of the Cathedral - which was absolutely enormous. I've included pictures of the outside, but unfortunately as is the case in most of the cathedrals in Spain, photos inside are not allowed. The Segovia cathedral has an interesting past - I noticed about 50 pews right in front of the altar ...

... ist so dürftig, dass meine Konversationen momentan nicht weit über ein 'holà, qué tal?' herausreichen. Es ist wirklich schade, dass ich mich während des letzten Semesters nicht ein bisschen mehr in den A... geklemmt hatte, um diese tolle Sprache ein bisschen besser zu lernen. Aber das kommt schon noch. Nach einem gemütlichen Abend in T-Shirt und kurzen Hosen in den Strassen von Madrid, wollte ich am Samstag eigentlich nach Toledo weiterreisen. Doch da die Jugi in Toledo ...

... I was too naive... the map was simplied and the compass was not accurate enough. One wrong choice in a star-shaped junction and I went the wrong way. The road I took was a long winding road with no street sign and no junction so I did not realize I took the wrong road until ...

... have had all trip. The bar man took us to this club which was like no other i have been to!! I felt like i was dancing in an art gallery. The bar people were dressed in towels with wreaths on their heads, there was fruit all over the place and the music was brilliant. To top it off, this bar man (who loved himself, but was very good looking) kept getting on a podium and dancing. was hilarious, esp when he kept checking himself out in the ...

... a girl from Malaga who is studying film and is making a documentary on the poor neighborhoods of Malaga. As Casey would say, she was ¨la mejor chica de peliculas.¨ Unfortunately I had to leave the next day at five. Casey and I spent the afternoon continuing our discovery of Madrid. We caught the tail end of the market at El Rastro and cruised by Palacio Real before I caught the bus back to Granada. Thanks again Casey for the great visit!
