Segovia Scaries

 May 20, 2023

    Waking up for the Segovia trip was a breeze. I think I have recovered from my jet lag episode! We started off the day with the bus driver yelling at us because there was coffee on the bus. One thing I have noticed about Spain is people just expect specific things from you without expressing what they do/do not allow. We began our journey to Segovia around 20 minutes late, but I was still excited. My favorite part about the morning was viewing the 9 preserved tapestries. The fact that these people did this in 6 years while hand threading every single piece amazed me. I admired the attention to detail and extremely accurate depictions. Our tour guide was explaining each tapestry in depth and the hidden features of them. The tapestry makers must have been extremely dedicated to their time to make these beautiful pieces so quickly. In the afternoon, we got lunch at a Segovian restaurant that served authentic food. It was quite the traditional experience as they served pig that was literally off the body. Kennedy ended up getting the foot of the pig which was quite funny. I did not get pig because I don’t think I could stomach eating it. The girls who ate the pig were adventurous, but that was not me!

I loved the symmetry of this garden!
