This picture is of me in front of the aqueducts in Segovia, Spain.  The structure was built in 97AD and is over 17 km long.

These are my closest friends in Spain (Emily, Me, Nicole, Lauren).  Here we are in front of the Cathedral of Segovia.  This structure dates back to the 16th century and has 24 rooms of relics and art.
Here I am at the top of the Alcazar of Segovia.  It is the tallest structure in Segovia and overlooks the entire city.  The castle dates back to the 1500's and housed over 22 kings of Spain.  This location was ideal for the Alcazar because from the top, you can see 360 degrees of the city and was perfect for the centuries of political unrest in Spain.  It's exhausting to climb all 152 steps to the top!

My attempt at scaling the walls of the Alcazar.
