SEGOVIA!!!

As promised here are some pictures of Segovia.



The first view of the Aqueduct. Its just magnificent!!

The Segovia Cathedral. This was such a magnificent sight, and well worth the 3 euros to get in it. I couldn't help but think about what this huge symbol stands for in Spain though, as this building was built at the height of the inquisition. Its kind of eerie to be in a building that is symbolic of so much pain in history, and exemplary of such a dark time of persecution in history.
On a lighter note, me in front of the aqueduct. See, I actually am here
The view over the town in from the tower of the Alcazar, the medieval castle of the city. The Cathedral dominates the landscape with the looming snowcapped mountains in the background. Madrid lies over that white peak.
