Segovia day-trippin'


Kinda getting sick of living in this big city,
surrounded by tall buildings, endless traffic jams n workworkwork..
So we hopped in the car, drove 1hr
to the quaint, tranquil city of SEGOVIA
with our new fav friend from Canada, Alicia


First stop: the Alcazar
aft questioning the Spanish dude (Alberto who else)
- we actually feel he's half Spanish nw
he only hangs out with us foreigners!-
we kinda concluded that Alcazar is similar to a Castle
medieval, royally constructed, smelling of Knights n cannons...







it kinda felt surreal, fairy-tale like
to be wondering in a medieval castle
lost amidst high-ceiling velvet-walled chambers...




Nxt stop: the Cathedral
almost every city in Spain has its own
symbolic Cathedral
standing in the centre of the hustle n bustle of the city..





overall view of the city..
basking under the sun..



me & Alicia jumping in joy!



ah the oh-so-famous AQUEDUCTO
built centuries ago,
this Aqueduct has been standing since the Roman Empire
surviving thru years of war n struggle...





In the countryside

we were happily rolling around amidst the autumn leaves
this felt sooo surreal..
i'm lovin' it!!!
