Segovia

This past weekend, we took a bus trip with the students to Segovia (about an hour NE of Madrid). It's famous for it's Roman aqueduct and castle (Walt Disney is said to have modeled sleeping beauty's castle after this one). 



The Aqueduct


The castle is full of cannons and armor, much to Owen's liking.




This cathedral was started in 1525 and took over 200 years to complete.



The Segovians are very much into their pigs.  Roast suckling pig is a speciality. 
(Vegetarian friends should avert their eyes.)





Fat back, anyone?

    Hi Naoko,

    We did have some nice weather. One or two days have been in the 60s!

    I understand that there's been quite a bit of snow in Easton:(

    The aqueducts are amazing!
    I have to say that it looks as though Owen is not the only one who likes the armor. Very cute picture.
