3rd Day: Madrid - Segovia


By Jackson, Lindsey and Taylor

Although we were still tired from the long plane ride, we were stoaked for the day to come. Some of us accompanied Carlos and Sra. Lima to the Egyptian temple in Madrid. Here we learnt about Spain's involvement in helping to move the temples of Abu Simbel, for which Spain was presented with that temple, while others enjoyed free time in the city.
The bus for Getxo left at 12:15 p.m. Most of us slept on the bus. However, the thrill of being reunited with our exchange partners prevented this from being a reality.


About 42% of the way to Bilbao, we stopped in the historical city of Segovia. Other than the rain, the expedition was superb. Every American was flabbergasted with the rich history that the city possessed. Most of us braved the spiral staircase to the top ot the watchtower.
From Segovia, we left to finish the last part of our ride.
We took a pit stop at a small hotel in Lerma, a small city near Burgos. Then, we got back on our bus to finish the trip and finally see our partners and meet their families.
We're almost there and everyone is anxious and nervous to speak a lot of Spanish.
We can't wait for all the adventures this week!!!
