¡Hola a mis queridos lectores!
So, final exams are officially underway which means I'm a wee bit stressed out right now. For some reason, these exams have me way for stressed than normal--probably becuase they are 70% of my grade!
Anyways, while the fam was in Barça this week I was studying for finals. They got back to Madrid on Friday afternoon and we did some exploring around my neighborhood and got some dinner near Palacio Real.
We went to Segovia on Saturday. It was awesome, we got to see the Roman aquecduct, which was 9 miles long and carried water from the river and mountains by Segovia to the city. It's held together without any mortar, just these giant rocks! It was really incredible to see! We also went to the Catedral, which looked very similar to the Catedral in Salamanca. We went to the Alcazar as well. Unfortunately it isn't the original, but it was still cool to see. It's Mudéjar style, which means its a combination of Moorish and Christian architecture. Ross and I climbed 152 to the top of the tower and got to see and awesome view of the city.
Today, Mom, Dad, and Ross are headed to Granada and Sevilla before coming back to Madrid one last time before heading home. I apologize for the lack of pictures, but I'm having some technical problems so I'll just have to show y'all when I get home!
As for me, I'm going to San Sebastian in Basque Country next weekend! I'm really excited, I've always wanted to go there!
Its back to the books for me, wish me luck!
Besitos,
Kelsey
