Segovia Day Trip




well today we headed to Segovia, a place that i thought i hadn't ever been too but as soon as we arrived i knew that nygil had taken us there before. but what can ya do? it was a really nice town with a lot of history and i didn't remember there being so much walking, although i think our guide was out to kill our legs. i know that as a fact with nygil we did not scale a mountain just to get to a tiny little church!! i definately got my work out in today but let me tell you the hike was not really worth the sight that our guide wanted to see, but walking to the church we found some pretty cool full views of the castle that was in segovia. it was just me and Christen (from the picture below) on the trip and we met these really sweet girls (of whom names have escaped my mind...what can i say i have a little of my father in me!). but we are going out with those girls tonight so i will make sure to get their names from Christen and get pictures! 
my housemate is still gone, she went on an orientation trip for the weekend (im not sure if i told you). so its just me to talk to my senora and its a little scary sometimes! 
oh and ps Garrett, dad, mom, and lucas (pattie not sure if you were there...) - but i found the crazy hawaiian bar that we went to when we were here! i can see the picture of garrett with that huge drink with several straws! so im looking forward to checking it out to see if its still the same!!!!
but im headed out tonight and on a day trip tomorrow to Toledo so ill have lots of scoop tomorrow!!! 
Love all of you and miss you tons!!!!

Ya that aquaduct looks familiar. Still is a pretty place and I am glad you made the trek. A hike doesn't hurt you, leaves more room for those beer calories later. Sorry I missed you call I was still on the plane. We all had a family dinner at Bapa's tonight 12 of us it was nice. Going back to town in the AM to spend time and figure things out for him with Sani, sue sue and Johnny. Will call you tomorrow after your day trip or you can try us at the ranch before if you have time. Love you lots and miss you tons!!!

Yes Lexi- you were in Segovia with us so glad it looked a bit familiar! Your mom gets off the hook because she was feeling icky that day and how she made it we'll never know!
And yes, I can still see the picture of Garrett with that huge drink- too funny that you found the Hawaiian bar again- do let us know if it's still the same.
I'm hoping you see this blog even though your date on this is Aug. 30 and now it's Sept. 2- I'm like your dad and a bit slow on this!
And I LOVE seeing your face in the pictures!!
