So I'm starting to notice a trend here, my days are long and there isn't enough time in the day to do all of the things I need to complete. Also, I thought the metro was suppose to help you get places faster. This morning it took us 45 minutes to get to school and tonight it took us one hour to come back home because a line was temporarily closed. I'm exhausted from all of the walking. I'm tired of riding the metro around. I don't want to complain, but I haven't been enjoying every aspect of this trip. I know I can't expect everything to go right, but can I at least have a couple of good days. I gues I'm just feeling cranky and tired and homesick.
Well today was a long day. We had class in the morning, then went to Segovia. I was feeling rather sick this morning because I drank some milk at breakfast that I thought tasted funny. Then I couldn't go to the bathroom at home because we were rushed to get to school on time. Then of course I felt nauseated on the metro. Boo to my tummy problems.
Monica my roommate was so great to tell the school people that I had to ride in front of the bus since I get easily carsick. Well we drove an hour to Segovia. The city was beautiful and the drive their was awesome. I saw so many mountains. In Segovia we saw this really large wall that is super old and is used as a water system or something. Sorry I'm really bad at remembering what the tour guide told us. We also saw some old churches, then went to see Alcazar.
Alcazar of Segovia is an old castle. It was amazing, I took plenty of pics and saw where the Kings and Queens got to hang out. It was very nice!!
Then we rode the bus home. Monica and I got on the metro took an hour ride home. We ate at the local cafe, although, I think the hamburgers were undercooked. I hope I don't get sick again.
Once home I wrote my school diary in Spanish, blogged, will be checking email, and hopefully skypeing with Jay.
Gotta Go! I hope all is well :)
oh no, do not get sick. I have been sick EVERY time i have been over seas.
