Segovia

Friday: we took a “field trip” to Segovia for the day and it was pretty sweet (despite the crazy wind attacks throughout the day). We saw the cathedral (shocker), the Aqueduct (sooo cool), and the Alcazar (I’m in love with that castle). Oh, we also spent THREE HOURS eating the biggest meal of our lives! It was amazing! I guess as a “last meal together” type thing (*tear*), our program took us to this famous restaurant and rented out the bottom area. We had so much food! Menu: salad with lamb, mushrooms and apple; leeks and roasted pepper; scrambled eggs with potatoes; grilled vegetables with olive oil; roasted suckling pig (yes!); wine; an incredible chocolate/crepe/ice cream dessert; and café con leche. Mmm…I’m not gonna lie, even the girls all wanted to unbutton their pants we were so full.

Right before going into the castle I all of a sudden remembered I had been there ten years ago. It was a really cool feeling knowing that I was coming back with new knowledge, taking the same pictures I had when I was half the age I am now. I love being here. I love it so much. I only have three weeks left so I’ve been reflecting a lot. And I’m so excited about returning to friends and family, but I know I’ll miss so many things once I go back. Okay, I’ll get more emotional later, I can’t afford to right now. Hasta luego lectores.
