Palacio San Facundo Segovia

... me so in awe that I barely noticed when all the little boy scouts finally departed the train to go camping in the middle of nowhere.

Eventually the train screeched into an old deserted looking station with the sign Segovia dangling at the entrance. Time to get off. When I walked through the train station to the other side I saw nothing but a deserted street and some cafes. Where were the Roman aqueducts and the old city? I don’t know ...

... of the full English had long since worn off.

We wandered back through the quiet streets, which had become devoid of people due to siesta time, looking in shop windows and exploring small alleys heading back down towards the aquaduct and there to further explore the town beyond the city walls.

We both agreed that we like Segovia - picturesque, historical and unique and had we had more time would have explored further afield - but for now it was back to Madrid.

... take a picture of the man’s work, and the coin cutter expressed in a loud manner that he preferred Conrad “admire with cash”. Conrad was trying to talk to the man, but he was very unruly and kept yelling at him. Conrad was thinking that this was not the way to convince a customer to purchase his wares.
There was much activity around the Aqueduct. There was a tango dancing competition and a rally promoting breast feeding ...

... from Valladolid). It was pretty funny...as we drove through the towns people would wave at the bus and jump around and stuff. When the bus stopped in Segovia there were some disappointed looking Spaniards as we got off the bus. I'm thinking they weren't exactly hoping for a group of American tourists.

The first main structure in the city we saw was the Roman aqueduct. It was built between the 1st and 2nd century AD, and goes ...

... woke up, I was to get ready for eating, literally, no joke, I swear, BABY SUCKLING PIG-a.k.a. 'cochinillo.' This is where the fun begins... [Apologies/Disclaimer to the vegetarians shall be at this juncture...especially Daniel Reiser if you are reading, which you should be...because you dropped your pocket] The WashU Crew (rolling about 25 deep) roll into this pretty high-class restaurant called "Mesón de Cándido" with clear expectations of ...

Continuing on from my last entry, we left Avila and set off about 60 miles Northeast of Avila to Segovia. Segovia is a much bigger town than Avila, and here, we were going to have lunch, then tour the city. Segovia is famous for it's "cochinillo", which is basically, roasted suckling pig. As a side note, I have had more pork since I've been in Spain that I believe I've had in my entire life thus far (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration ...

... pickpockets".... What I found was.... a lack of all!(because I was EARLY! @9am) Not many merchants, not many buyers, and couldn't even spot any pickpockets (not that they were easy to spot) ... however, I saw plenty of local police, chatting up to those vendors who were just ...

... in the form of human-like clouds; all of them within a very Baroque aesthetic. The garden-tour was quick and expeditious due to our hunger. We ran by a few more fountains, including the largest and more spectacular one called the Fuente de las Ocho Calles (Fountain of the Eight Paths) dedicated to Amphitrite, Poseidon's wife. We made it to the Plaza Mayor of Segovia, where the majestic Cathedral overlooked the entire city. We chose an outside ...

... now, we are relaxing and eating food since it is free- what a treat! Every day we enjoy drinking espresso coffee on fine china outdoors in the breeze with Mariela, the mom of the family, chatting with Luis, a communications professor, and playing with Christina who is five years old and is our new amiga. I will write more later, but wanted to up my percentage of the world traveled to more than one percent! I love you all.
