Segovia!

I know I haven't written in awhile but I will tell you all about my trip to Segovia. This I got up at 7:20 because the bus was leaving from the Plaza Espana at either 8 or 8:30 a.m. I got there right about 8 so I figured the bus didn't leave until 8:30. I hung around until the bus came at 8:20 and I got the bus and was ready for my trip! The bus ride was about 2 and a half hours from Burgos to Segovia.  The scenery on the trip was beautiful. I got a lot of pictures of the mountains. I think it's the Pyrenees. Then we got to the Segovia. Man, is Segovia beautiful! The first sight we saw was the aqueduct. I can't believe that the people didn't use any mortar to hold the rocks in place! We also got to see a Synagogue  which could also be a Christian Church. The tour guide told us that at this moment the Claristas monks were using it. The tour guide, Ana, was really nice but she had a degree in art history and architecture that after awhile I got bored and wandered off for a little bit. We then got to see the beautiful Cathedral. That was also stunning. By the time we were done at the Cathedral, it was time for our break. We found a place close to where we entered that served kebaps and pizzas. Melanie and I shared a Margarita pizza. It was delicious! My other friend, Nicole, had kebap, which to me looks like a gyro. Then we took some more pictures of the aqueduct and then we went back to rejoin our group. After lunch, we went to the Alcazar, which was were Isabella of the Reyes Catolicos lived until she was proclaimed queen. I can't even describe the view. We did the mini tour of what inside the Alcazar. My favorite room was the room called the Salon de Embajadores. In this room, they had sculptures of pretty much all Spanish queens and kings. We were then able to climb all the steps to the tower. Those steps were a killer! They were spiral steps that seem to never end! It was so peaceful up there. After we went up there, that was pretty much the end of tour! I had so much fun today!
