Grand Tour, Day 3: Segovia

Emilio writes:

We woke up and got on a train to Segovia. In Segovia, we got in a taxi and went to the castle. It was the first time we rode in a taxi, and we rode four in the back seat. Every time we turned, we fell on each other.

The taxi left us off way below the castle. We had to walk up a whole bunch of steps to get to the castle. Then we climbed 152 steps to get to the top of the castle's tower. We could see all of Segovia from there.

After we went to the castle, we went to the Cathedral. The streets were more narrow than they are in the United States, and the houses are closer together.

We were supposed to pay to go in the Cathedral, but we did not. The whole time we were inside I was scared we were going to get caught.

After we went to the Cathedral, we went to an old Roman Aqueduct. It was long. It had 166 arches. When they built it, they did not use any cement. It was pretty tall.

Here is a list of my favorite things I did today:
1. Castle
2. Train
3. Aqueduct
4. Cathedral
