Segovia/Bull Ranch

THIS IS WHERE WE WENT ON OCTOBER 24 and 25:

(Catch up)

October 24: SEGOVIA:

is a town a few hours from Salamanca:

Segovia is known for it's Castle and Aqueduct. The Aqueduct, built in the late 1st Century (!!!!) was used by the Romans to bring water into the city.

There was also this cool Castle that the Disney Castle was modeled after. Called the Alcazar Castle, it was originally built by Arabs and was converted by King Alfonso the 11th C.

We next traveled to the Palace Grounds, a bit aways from the Catedral and Aqueduct . It was beautiful. Finally we found some autumn, after days of Salamanca which only yields tall tall old old buildings. I really was pleased to have some greenery. and yellowery. There was also a labyrinth which was kind of dying and dead but it was pretty cool.

We also went to this Bull Ranch- the 24:

It was about a 30 min. drive from Salamanca, and we arrived at the ranch, piled into Safari-like Cars and drove around the ranch right up near the bulls. We saw baby bulls, mommy bulls, Castrated bulls, Weak bulls, and bulls which were going to die. A common thing I yelled at them was "I'm sorry you are going to die." Poor Torros.

Here are some Pictures:
