GJEE Part V
Segovia, Spain

Segovia is a beautiful town, with gorgeous buildings (especially churches), weather, and an impressive Roman aqueduct. It's small enough to be easily experienced on foot, yet large enough to demand that it take more than a few hours to do so. If you look in the right direction, you can see beautiful, snow-capped mountains, but I'm not sure which range they belong to.

Segovia is the site of two of my failures with Spanish: first, I missed out on gazpacho (not my fault, they were just out of it) and second, i had the lovely experience of describing bumps as "erm... como cerritos muy pequeños... no, mas bien, puntos elevados." Ah, how my Chileans would respond if they could see me now.
