Segovia
Today I went to Segovia (northwest of Spain, in the mountains) and it was AWESOME! I once again had a lot of walking and ups and downs, but it was worth it. I had a great time and feel much better than I did yesterday. I'll post more pictures below. I'd love to tell you more, but I'm spent. Tomorrow I'm going to El Rastro in Madrid. It's a huge market that is open on Sundays. I'm excited and nervous because they have a lot of pocketpickers. I'll take more pictures there and then tomorrow night is the Euro Cup! And I still have tons of homework to do. Oh boy! Thanks for following!
The Cathedral from the other side of town
A Romanesque church
Inside the church
The streets of Segovia
The AcuaDuct (It's 2000 years old)
That is tall!
Look how long it is? This is just one section (And yes I walked up and down both sides of the section) Ugh!
This is getting heavy. Can anyone help me?
The other side of the same section of the Acuaduct.

Well, it's me, duh

Gothic Cathedral
Lunch time - La sopa Castellena (Castillian Soup) - I was in the Castille region. It is garlic soup with bits of bread, ham, and cheese. Very good.
Conichillo asado (Roasted Suckling Pig) Very popular from this region. If you order the entire pig it comes out intact (head and all)
I'm not going to lie, it was a little more difficult to eat this due to the parts being there.
Ketchup - I felt stupid after asking for it as I had to unseal it. I guess no one else wants ketchup?
After a bit of picking
What the meat looks like. Very juicy
A nice couple from Northern Italy who spoke with me for some time at lunch. (They know Spanish.)

The Gothic Cathedral - It is huge inside, pictures do not do it justice
