Segovia

This weekend has been really nice because even though traveling and staying in hostels is fun and exciting, it's also exhausting. So it was really nice to have a weekend in a steady location with regular sleep and good. Friday was a great mental health day. I slept in, ran, did some homework, hung out in the sun in plaza mayor (it's getting warmer!!). 

Saturday we got up really early for the bus to Segovia. The bus ride was terrible! Apparently in Spain they do not know how to build roads and had these round-a-bout things every few miles. Plus we went through lots of small towns with narrow bumpy roads. I felt pretty sick. 

But, Segovia was quite pretty. Maybe not quite as impressive as Salamanca, but the church was pretty and tower was cool. I paid extra to climb the tower which was an excellent thigh work out. The highlights of the trip for me was the mountains, which were stunning, and the roman aqueducts which are built entirely of stone without any kind of cohesive keeping them together. Apparently they were still functioning up until the 70s!! Way cool. 

Then Saturday night I hit the town with mis amigos. It was really weird cause about 20 students, Japanese, Spanish and American showed up at Mike and Shelby's apartment which made the night more interesting. 

I would say it's another lazy Sunday, but I got mid-terms this week! So, I guess I kinda gotta hit the books and drink a lot of cafe and té negro. 

No more big trips planned for a bit, but I'm excited for my parents to come visit in a few weeks!
