Hello winter. Location: Segovia.

Yet another frustration with my program came up this past weekend when they decided, in the height of winter, to take us North instead of South to the frigid town of Segovia. Fortunately I've been to Segovia before, when I was here 4 years ago with a high school program, so this visit was more of a review for me. It's funny actually to compare my pictures between then, when I was frolicking in the grass with my then-boyfriend, and this past weekend, when my toes were in pain they were so cold... We just spent Friday night in Segovia, running around the town Friday and Saturday seeing the important monuments. Here are some pictures from our visit:

Snowing!!

 Inside the Alcazar (Castle)

 The aqueduct. 20 centuries old, no morter between the stones and still standing. 

We escaped to a coffee shop so our fingers could defrost

And... 4 years ago?!?!?

With my program. Sooo young!

The Alcazar, which I could actually get a picture of because it wasn't disgusting outside!

In other news, my host cousin (who Eva, when I first met him, called, "the one with all the piercings") came for dinner tonight and invited me to go out with him and his friends Saturday. Especially with people on my program travelling every weekend, I'm excited to have Spanish friends. After class today I went with some girls in my class to get a coffee in the cafeteria and that was great too. Hurray integration!

Besos,

Anj
