Segovia

Katrina and I took an optional tour to the city of Segovia. It is famous for both The Roman Aqueduct and The Alcazar. It was such a neat place. It's full of ancient history, and it looks like it is right out of a story book.

This lovely statue is of Romulus and Remus. If you don't know who that is, look it up. It's from a famous Greek myth.

The Aqueduct is almost 2,000 years old. It is still in perfect condition. I touched it though- so it probably won't be that way for much longer. 

The Alcazar is a huge castle, which is said to be the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disney World. It's extremely photogenic. I got some good shots of it looking all fairy tale like from afar. Inside, however- it's a different story. It's full of creepy paintings and old furniture. There is one painting, in particular that I loved. All of the people have black holes for eyes. Super creepy.
