Follame

Que tal? :) (Whats up)

We went to segovia today on a day trip in a bus. it was a cool bus ride with amazing scenery, pictures couldnt even begin to capture it.  we walked around the town and the ancient buildings and streets. we got a few tours, one of a huge cathedral that was so beautiful! we got a break for lunch and some wander time of our own which was filled first by food obvi at a hamburger place! it was delicious. then we wandered around taking pics, exploring, and shopping.  it was so much fun :) we had to meet back up to go on a few more tours. one was of this old church right on the edge and here they told a story about the bodies that were killed there and then buried underneath. however, a few days later it rained a ton i guess and all the bodies moved and shifted and made the stone move as well. it was a crazy story. they told us that you can find teeth and bones all outside so keep your eyes peeled.  i think, no way! its been decades most if not all are gone or have been taken by past guests. welllll we walked outside and almost right away a guy from my group goes "Heres a tooth" i laugh thinking hes kidding and he picks it up and shows me..it was def real! haha how cool!! Then we took the bus home. Segovia was so amazing!! took a ton of pics (ill add some) and i loved it because today was def a people picture day. meaning that we were actually in a lot of the pictures today compared to just buildings and streets and stuff at times since we dont have people to take pics all the time.  I wish i had a personal photographer to follow us around and capture us in the moment constantly haha! me and tricia then walked around for a little and ran a few errands and made it home to research! as i said yesterday were trying to plan a beach trip next weekend but need to book it asap! so were trying to find the cheapest best option :) i think we have decided and are going to book it tomorrow! tomorrow we are also going to Rastro, which is a huge market here that is only on Sundays.  i guess it has everything you could ever want, and for good deals too (well i hope anyway lol) so i am super pumped for that!! i love shopping in general, but especially here because things are so different and cool! the thing that sucks it how expensive everything is :/ and with the exchange rate. wahh sucks! and im trying not to spend much money so its hard but im hoping the market will be cheaper and we can get good deals! YAY! ill let you know how it goes :) then we will be going to the Real Madrid soccer game that is here tomorrow with most of the group! that should be a cool experience :) then home for some much much much needed sleep! ahhh! something that is lacking here in Madrid still lol







The ancient tooth we found!!












well talking of that, im off to sleep now! big day tomorrow

Love you ALL :)
