Wednesday May 8th - One week in Segovia!! We had a nice class with Ricardo, our professor here, just like every morning. This day we learned about the causes of the Spanish Civil War and the politics involved.
After comida (lunch) with our families, we were free to do whatever we pleased until dinner with our families later that night. Many of us took our time with our comida and siesta (nap) since our afternoon was free. Some of us met up and went souvenir shopping to pick up special things for everyone at home, followed by café (coffee) and some sweets before heading home for cena (dinner).

The hot chocolate here is wonderful – it’s so rich and
creamy that it is basically melted chocolate!
The hot chocolate is especially good if you dip churros in it –
yum!! As we spend more time here in
Spain, we are exposed to more and more foods and sweets, all of which have been
delicious!
Wandering around the streets of Segovia during our free time has been a real
treat as well. There are countless
shops, restaurants, and cafés. The shops
are small and more personal than the big department stores we have in the
United States. Along with all of the
cafés and restaurants, the atmosphere of Segovia makes us never want to leave!
