Day 1- Segovia

Day 0 and 1
The 2 flights were uneventful. The 10 hours to Frankfurt are long and without individual choice of movies were tough. We got some sleep. The drive from Madrid to Segovia was easy (with GPS). The roads are beautiful, but you pay for them. We paid 5.20 euros for the 80-90 mile drive from the airport to Segovia.
Segovia.
Beautiful city. Was founded by either Hercules or Noah depending on who you believe. The Romans settled here in 80 BC - so the city is over 2000 years old. The most amazing sight is the 2000 year old Roman aqueduct - built without mortar.
English is not spoken here. The majority of tourists are Spanish speaking. The narrow streets (barely wide enough for one car) add to the charm. The many plazas are outnumbered by the many churches, which are in turn outnumbered by the number of bars. The city starts hopping in the evening with families strolling, having drinks, coffees, snacks, etc. The city is small enough to walk everywhere. At sunset it becomes almost golden because of the color of stone the buildings were built from. We walked around, stopped at two bars for drinks and food and turned it in at about 10:30 pm after what felt like a 72-hour day.
