San Miguel Segovia

... attractions are: Cathedral, Alcazar, the Roman Wall, small barrios, and Puertos.

The Segovia Cathedral dates back almost 200 years! Very impressive and Gothic looking structure! Most of the sites are made out of clay believe it or not and they have been staying up for few hundred centuries.

I was very tired on the way back!

... castle at Disney world. From the back we could not see this but apparently if you stand across from the castle on the hill facing the opposite side it is the splitting image of Cinderella’s castle. From our point of view the castle, built atop a rocky cliff, was majestic either way. The whole thing was built with a smooth creamy colored stone and the roofs of each of the towers were covered with sharp black slate spires, which make it ...

... a distance - Disney fashioned the Fantasyland castle after this virtually impregnable castle, which, together with moat, really looks the part. The tour is worthwhile, and was popular with large groups of school kids and pensioners.

We made our way back up to the Plaza Mayor and entered the massive Cathedral which was incredible. The sheer size of the church which has flying buttresses, a large dome and steeple, and a unique cloistered outdoor garden dating from 1525, is ...

... is 30 minutes north of Madrid and has a sweet castle and a rather large display of Roman Jenga (an aqueducto).. pretty cool.
Spain is more friendly, smells better and serves primarily desserts. I could spend more time in this country.
Tomorrow we are off to Barcelona for a night and then flying to Ibiza! Everyone cross your fingers that the weather stays mild as our Spanish newsnetwork is telling us we are in for a killer rainstorm ...

Dear Loyal Readers, I am posting this about a week late from a friend's computer because mine has suddenly stopped working. I really can not explain it, but this computer has given me nothing but trouble this year. Fortunately my host sister's husband works for Dell, so he came over and diagnosed my computer as needing a Windows reload. I'm working on it, but in the meantime, I'll share the details about the visit to ...

... thing about Segovia, in my opinion, is the aqueduct. Again, you have to see the pictures to understand and even those don't do it justice. The aqueducts were built in 1 A.D. by the Romans. No, that was not a type - those aqueducts are 2,007 years old. And, the even more amazing thing is that they are not held together by anything - just stone on stone. Talk about "they don't make 'em like that anymore"! The aqueducts are no longer used ...

... hier alles ein bisschen gemütlicher zu und her geht. Eine weitere Folge aus der Hitze ist die Siesta, welche, was ich bisher gesehen habe, ziemlich strikt eingehalten wird. Denn auch an Orten die noch so touristisch sind, sind die Türen nachmittags einfach mal für ein paar Stunden geschlossen und öffnen gegen Abend wieder. Ziemlich gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber irgendwie gefällt's mir. Durch die Hitze und die Siesta entsteht natürlich auch eine Zeitverschiebung, d.h. wenn man über ...

... not lost) and wait another two hours for the next train?...... NO WAY! I really had enough in this "Lost in Segovia" experience! So I took this 18:50 train with Shang back to Madrid. It turned out that Shang didn't do too well this morning neither.... he boarded the 10:00 train two ...

Um kurz 11 kam die erste Durchsage, dass wir noch ungefaehr 20 Minuten warten muessten. Kein Problem, doch dann hiess es auf einmal, dass wir wegen technischer Stoerung nicht vor zwei Uhr losfliegen wuerden. Als Entschaedigung sollten wir ein Mittagessen bekommen. Also ...
