For the first time, Aliza and I went on a trip with other people... BRYCE AND JENNA!
As it's our last touring day, because school starts tomorrow, we decided that we would go to Segovia, a little city, an hour away from 'home.'
We slept a little later today and went on our way... it's interesting how the price for a there&back is cheaper then getting into a bar in this country (just saying).
The town was tiny and we decided that instead of making a plan like we always did, we would just walk around.
When walking through town, you cannot miss the HUGE Roman Aqueduct.
It takes up the ENTIRE town.
It was really amazing to walk through it and hear about how they made it.
...too bad there's no more water flowing!
We went to the Plaza Mayor and ate lunch in a gazebo.
Romantic much? I think so.
Too bad we didn't have champagne and flowers... but PB sandwiches (ham and cheese for Bryce and Jenna) are just as good!
We then continued on in Walt Disney's footsteps to the Alcazar's Palace.
Walt Disney modeled Sleeping Beauty's palace after this palace.
Dating back to the 1700s, we saw everything! From the beds they slept in...to the knights armor... to the guillotines that people were killed in....
From there, for an extra 2€, we climbed 152 stairs (at our own risk!) to the top of Juan II's tower.
Being afraid of heights, it was a MAJOR task but the excitement of what was at the top kept all of us going... until we got to the top and... THERE WAS NOTHING!
What a waste!
All we saw was the same view of the tiny city as we had seen when we were at the top of the aqueduct...
but who would've thought that going down would be worse then going up! Certainly not I!
The way back 'home' was great!
Jenna and I sat in the front row of the bus and jammed with the bus driver...
Forget the 9 days when Christina Aguilera's "I'm a Genie in a bottle" comes on the radio!
P.S. - It's SEGOVIA and not GENOVIA for all those who think I may have seen Anne Hathaway in the Princess Diaries!
