In Segovia

This is one of my favorite pictures of us.  It is in Segovia, Spain.  Segovia is a small town about an hour away from Madrid.  I used to like to go there for a day get away.  They have excellent lamb and roasted suckling pig.  Mmm!  Se me hace agua la boca.  Of course, the main attraction is the Roman aqueduct built with only rocks (no mortar!)  Those Romans, I tell you!  Que inteligencia!  The aqueduct was built by the Romans around the late 1st Century AD to supply water to the roman military fort on the hill.  The water flowed from a channel at the top and supplied the whole city.  It's a mesmerizing scene.
