Today I decided to take a last day trip (and get one more use out of my expensive rail pass too!) so I headed out to Segovia. Claire Rudder, a synchro swimmer who used to swim at WCA as well is studying abroad there, so I met up with her and she showed me around the small city.
The train ride out was long, bug quite easy. I wouldn't say the seats were very comfy though. I got to Segovia around 2pm and slowly walked towards the city center where I grabbed a bite to eat.
Claire and I met up around 3pm and she showed me around. The castle in Segovia is quite beautiful, as is the area in general. I quite like the smaller quieter cities. After walking around for a bit we sat down and had some sangria before I had to catch the train back to Madrid. The walk back was supposed to take a half hour and I only had 40 minutes, so I booked it while freaking out that I would miss the train. It only took 15 minutes, so I definitely did NOT need to speed walk. Oh well, at least I had time at the train station to get situated. I hopped on the same uncomfortable train just before 7pm and headed back towards Madrid with an expected arrival time of 8:50pm.
I got back just fine and headed back to the hostel for a bit before heading out to get a super cheap bocadillo de jamon y queso at a place off Plaza Mayor. Now I'm just checking on a few things before bed.
It's been a great trip over here and I can't believe I'm headed back to the USA tomorrow. See ya soon NYC!!
