Today we had quite the day traveling from Toledo back to Madrid, from one train station to another, and then catching the train to Segovia. We had a slight "layover" in Madrid at the second station before our train came - about an hour. So I got in touch with mi hermano and he came to visit me at the station! It was so good to see a little piece of my Spanish home and spend time with him! It's been 4 1/2 years since I studied abroad, but all the sibling love was still there. It would've been cool to see mis padres, but they're all the way back in Ubeda and I think it'd probably be frowned upon if I took a little (quite a distance) detour from our scheduled route.
When we got to Segovia, we checked into the hotel, bundled up in our warmer clothes, and went exploring through town just to take in some sights. We walked around with no agenda and found some pretty awesome views. We also stumbled across the castle that inspired Walt Disney to build his castle at Disneyland. We'll actually tour it tomorrow. But the view from it is jaw dropping. There's beautiful green fields and also snow-capped mountains off in the background. And we were there at just the right time of the day that the sun was reflecting off everything just beautifully.
I promise there will be pictures soon! Hopefully, I can get the app on my phone and upload them from there. Well, it's after midnight here and we've got a busy day planned for tomorrow. Buenas Noches!
