Hey again! So this morning I got to walk around Segovia with Luis, my "host-dad", and man there's a lot to see! I wish I had a better word than just "awesome" to describe everything, but it was REALLY awesome! The streets are all windy, and hilly, and the street signs are hard to find (because they're plastered on the wall, not on signposts like in the US- so that makes things interesting) but there are so many cool stores, and old churches, and there are a lot of tourists so that makes me feel better-at least I can speak Spanish! Anyway, I'll post a picture of the Segovia Cathedral (a really cool Gothic cathedral that was on the pilgrimage route of Santiago)-and the picture with the writing says "On December 13, 1474, in the atrium of the Church of St. Michael, in the City of Segovia, Isabella the Catholic was proclaimed the Queen of Castilla" (Isabella and Ferdinand were the powerful rulers of Spain who helped Columbus go to the Americas. Cool, huh?). There were also beautiful flowers everywhere, so I'll post a picture of those. Anyway, I guess that's all for now. Enjoy!
Rachel:)

beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteVery nifty Rachel! I am a great aficionado of the Tudors, so I was glad to see the picture of the place where Isabella was proclaimed queen. She turned out to be, you know, King Henry VIII's mother in law (he of wife-beheading fame). Salut!
ReplyDeleteHey Rach - Glad your feeling better. You're becoming quite the photographer!!! Sounds like your days are full and exciting.
ReplyDeleteWe love you!
