The Arrival

Acueducto Romano


PBI to ATL, ATL to MAD. Made it safely, didn't miss a flight.. Nothing too exciting there (except for a few airport drinks with Uncle Paul who used his police voodoo to get through security.)

We were picked up and taken to the gorgeous historical city of Segovia, home of the Roman Aqueduct. We hit up the Catedral de Segovia and the Alcazar there too. I ate my first Spanish meal at a restaurant in Segovia which was a sandwich with a Spanish "tortilla" which is really an omelet.

That was Friday - Saturday (not sure when one ended and the other began) and now it's Sunday. Britt and I slept 12 hours after a fun night of Hulu and drinking boxed wine with Tahreer. (Everything is hilarious after being awake for over 30 hours.) We decided not to go out with the others because of the lack of sleep..

It's hard to accurately describe how different things are yet. We are here in Valladolid (the capital of Castilla y Leon region) staying at the Mozart Hotel. We slept through the free breakfast so I'm living off of my chewy bars and peanut butter I brought in my suitcase. So far, all is well.

This is the last place that I know for sure that I have Wifi (pronounced wee-fee). Tonight is the traditional Spanish dinner and then tomorrow we split up and head off to our prospective destinations... This should be interesting.
