We arrived in Segovia at around five o'clock. But we couldn't find the hotel and it took us about an hour to get there. On the way we saw a HUGE aqueduct (which is a thing that looks like a bridge but was used to carry water from place to place). My parents got a big suite that had a deck with a really good view. Lindsay, and Kaelan, and I got a small room with three beds. Actually the rooms were probably the same size not including their deck. But they also had one less bed so they had more walking space. Then we unpacked and went to a super good restaurant for dinner. They had the best beans that I've ever tasted in my life. They also were the biggest beans I've ever tasted in my life. They were as big as an adult's thumb! Which isn't that big, but it's still big for a bean. Then we just went to bed.
In the morning we went out and had a humongous breakfast. After that we switched hotels. Our new hotel was right on the Plaza Mayor. This time our hotel room was way bigger than my parents'! Then we walked around town for a few hours. Because we didn't eat lunch we got some ice cream. We went on to the aqueduct. It was so cold that we could only spend a few minutes up there because we were freezing! The aqueduct was 800 yards long and 25 or 30 yards tall. It is built with stone blocks the size of a big cardboard box. I don't know how but it looks like it is brand new even though it is almost 2000 years old! After that we went to dinner at a tapas bar and we went to bed.
The next morning we had a really good breakfast at the hotel then we went to a big castle that looked really new and that my dad says looks very much like Snow White's castle in Disneyland. In the middle of the castle there was a big interior courtyard that the whole castle went off of. They showed knights' armor and horse armor. The furniture looked really old and when we saw the king's bed my brother thought it was the bed for the "King" from the movie "Cars". Around the castle was a really deep moat. It also had a museum that showed how weapons and armor had changed through the ages.
We went back to the hotel, got our luggage and left. On the way back to the airport, we stopped at the Escorial. The Escorial is another castle, but this one is really enormously big and might even be the biggest in the world... Thank god it was closed so we did not have to visit it:-) Then we left Castilla la Vieja for good and arrived at the airport.

But the important question is: What kind of ice cream did you have?
Hi Amy! You are right, that IS the important question. We got crepes with ice cream in them. But it was not gelato. So we committed a crime, but there were attenuating circumstances... Love, Cami
