Segovia

This past weekend we went to Segovia from Madrid and again as I always say in every journal entry...it was beautiful. The Roman aquaduct towered in the middle of the city, standing tall for 2000 years and counting. The aguaduct was made without mortar or anything, just support and balance from the stones themselves have kept this piece of ancient history standing. And until this day it can still hold a stream of water and function as it did 2000 years ago. The cathedral was also a sight to see with the rich, cream color of the stone against the bright blue of the sky. It was a perfect day; no clouds and warm sun. On the other side of the city was the Alcazar. Primarily was a palace, prison, and artilerary school but burnt down and was rebuilt to be a museum that is somewhat Disneyesque looking like a castle on a cliff. Like yesterday  we started to roam and wader wherever the wind took us; stopping and sitting on an ancient Roman wall and watching the geckos scurrying around. I love not having any time restraints or rushing from sight to sight because then I believe you miss all the details and real beauty of the city.
