Segovia

We went to see Segovia! It was such a quaint little town that I thought was so super cute. We went and saw the Alcazar and the Roman Aqueducts. In the Segovia Alcazar (castle), we saw giant cannons that looked two times the size of me! We also saw outfits that soldiers would have worn. The main colors were blue, red and yellow. In another room we saw lots of armory. The reason they had these things was because they were very protective of the castle because it was huge and on top of a hill that stood in an honoring spot, and different royalty lived there. In one of the bedrooms we saw so many neat painted designs on the walls. The bed was crazy beautiful. It had great drapes. At the Aqueducts I got to climb up into one of the giant arches. It is made of plain stone and has 167 arches in it. There is also a hidden route called the Canal Madre (which stands for Mother Channel) that helped give the city all its water. On the street we saw lots of performers. One of them was doing a puppet that was of a girl playing violin. The person doing the puppet had a dog but it looked like a lazy dog that was asleep. When Brock went up to give some coins to the street performer and also to pet the dog, the dog bopped its head up and barked. It surprised us and made Brock jump. It was so hysterical!
