Segovia

It was so hard to get up this morning. We got home from the hot springs at about 1:30 am. Em was hiring a car so we could drive to Segovia and then tomorrow she, Chris and Tamara are heading to San Sebastian. Stefano decided he wanted to come to Segovia as well so he took his car with Javi, Gian and Alexis. We left for Segovia at 10:30 am ish but didn't get there till four hours later. I was sitting between Mel and Tamara and they both started feeling carsick because the road was so windy and I was petrified one or both of them would throw up on me.

Had lunch at this dodgy place called Disnei Bar which sold hamburgers for really cheap (when we ate them we found out why). Walked around a bit, saw the cathedral, then went to the castle. Segovia is famous for its aquaducts (which are cool- you walk through them to get to the old town), cathedral and castle apparently. The castle was very attractive but by the time we went up the tower, it was almost 6 pm and freezing so I wasn't too upset that it was closing time. (Photo clockwise from left: Gian, Stefano, Chris, Javi, Alexis, me, Em, Mel and Tamara)

We got back home just before midnight. This time, we didn't take the windy, mountainous road but went through Burgos, which is a longer route but is mostly freeway and straight. It was Javier's birthday on Thursday and Sevi's yesterday so all the boys were out celebrating and getting drunk. I felt bad that we couldn't go join them but we were all dead tired. It's not like I did much today besides walk around Segovia and sit in a car for eight hours but I just felt totally slumped.
