Segovia-too cool for school

Hey gang, just got back from our day trip to Segovia, which is located about an hour north of Madrid by bus. It was amazing, such a beautiful city. It literally felt like you were in and old medieval village. Lots of history and culture. Since we are too cool to go on the school trip to Segovia (and didn't feel like paying 40 euro) we decided to take a separate bus (6 euro). The only problem was finding the mythical "bus to Segovia"....we started to think it didn't exist. Our journey started with 15 min metro ride to south Madrid, where we thought the bus station was. We then were told by some security guard guy, who apparently had no idea what he was talking about, that the bus to Segovia was actually a 30 min train away to this place called Charmartin. So we took the train to Charmatin and quickly realized that we were at place that I would consider Chesterfield of Madrid....we're lost as can be. So we ask around and it turns out we're in the exact opposite place and the bus to Segovia was in downtown Madrid. With the help of some friendly Madridians(?) we found the bus and arrived in Segovia. The highlights of Segovia were the centuries old aquaducts and a massive castle that was the inspiration for Disney's Snow White (Yea, I know!!) ... unfortunately we were unable to find the 7 dwarfs, maybe next time. Fun fact: Segovia has more churches than any other town in the world with 28 churches....so now you know! Check out the pics. Going out tonight soooo thats where the blog ends.
