Castle in Segovia

Erin, Nate, and I took a bus one day to Segovia to explore a very popular castle. It was about an hour bus ride from Madrid.  I impressed myself with my adventurous spirit while in Spain.  I didn't let the language slow me down.  I am so happy that I had the courage to do the things that I did with the kids even when Mario couldn't join us, especially since we lived in Madrid less than 2 months.  I think even Eric and and Erin were impressed with how adventurous I had become.  They both know Spanish much better than I do, but neither helped me order food at restaurants.  They would just sit back and watch me stumble and then make fun of me.  We enjoyed walking around the streets of this very old city and seeing a beautiful cathedral, castle, shopping, and enjoying the very yummy pastries that were much cheaper in Segovia than in Madrid.  I still miss all those delicious pastries.
