Now that we've gotten a little used to the city, it's time to start branching out. This past week, we've all started making plans for where to travel on weekends and what to do for Carnival.

This upcoming weekend, we will be going to Segovia with our professors. This should be a fun trip because Segovia is where el acueducto is (one of the first, or the first aqueducts built in the world, the exact date of when it was built is unknown, but it was built before 1072 when there was an attack on the city) Also in Segovia is El Alcázar. This is a beautiful castle which is still well preserved today. I will post pictures after the weekend!

In addition to this trip, all of the students have begun to plan where to go for Carnival. This is a celebration just like Marti Gras. This celebration is biggest in Brasil, Southern Spain, Portugal, and Venice. Because it is such a big celebration, we get two days off of school so most of us are using it to visit other countries! Planning these trips has kind of been our main focus after school lately.

That's all for today, nothing very interesting, but just preparing for the great trips to come!
