I've been fortunate enough to travel around Spain in the weeks that I have been here. Travel along with me.
Segovia
As a program we went to a small town outside of Madrid, Segovia. The name encapsels all that you would think it would be. Quaint, charming, and full of character. After the bustling city of Madrid it was nice to experience something so beautiful. We went to a castle first, then to an amazing cathedral, enjoyed a fancy dinner of 'suckling pig', admired a Roman aqueduct and finally strode through the royal gardens.

| This place is BEAUTIFUL. This is where the King and Queen used to live... what a rough life. |

| Tiffani, me, Olivia and Hannah |
 |
| The Patronato del Alcazar de Segovia. This is where royalty used to live... it was created during the mid-evil times so it has a 'knight and shining armor' flair |

| After walking all the way to the top of the castle... taking a breather |
