Today we got to Segovia. I'm not sure how long it took because I slept the whole bus ride. Bebi mucho vino anoche y por lo tanto me duele la cabeza. I love my Senora. She is only 34 (so she says...hah) and has a daughter, Marid, who is 17 and a daughter Salome, who is 20 I thinkand studies in Madrid, so we haven't seen her yet. She won't let us speak English in the house, probably because shecan't speak it at all. Hah Segovia is beautiful. It reminds me of Sienna kind of, but smaller. Since I only have one class from 9-10:30, I'll have a lot of free time. I think tomorrow I might go to the pool. I wish I felt better because it's really hard to run when I feel so ... read more

Roman ruins and fairytale castles Where is my prince? We took a daytrip to Segovia today to see the Roman aqueduct (still functional, but not in use) and Alcazar castle (whichWalt Disney used as an inspiration for his castle for DisneyLand). We started at the aqueduct and Jaime (our guide) explained the history of the area and the modern lifestyle they enjoyed 2500 years ago. The aqueduct allowed them indoor plumbing and sewage systems. Jaime is a Ph.D. student studying international relations and had wonderful English. Mary and I were lucky enough to have lunch with him and soak up knowledge from him. Except for his amblyomyopia (lazy eye), he was quite attractive - in a Spanish way. Anyway, the highlight of the trip was the castle! It was so beautiful. It was so fun to ... read more
