Yesterday was the best day I have had thus far. We walked through the intimate city of Segovia. The city was covered with families eating on benches, giant meats hanging in storefronts while butchers cut it fresh for customers and streets narrow with pebbled paths running through them.

I have never seen any place so friendly and welcoming to everyone. We students were walking together when we turned the corner and stopped. In the middle of the town stands the Roman's largest fingerprint left for Segovia and probably all of Spain: a stone aqueduct! It was at that monument that it hit me that this trip is much like living through a textbook, yet instead of looking at pictures of monuments and reading about them, we were ourselves in the picture standing before a marvel of history 2,000 years old. It was humbling to stand so small as the aqueduct towered over me, and I will never forget the scale of greatness the aqueduct still displays today, though it lays in the middle of a simple, intimate town.
