We toured the castle, but having an hour tour in Spanish gets a bit tiring so I gave up on the historical aspects. I made my own narrative and it was much more fun. The castle had tons of beautiful stained glass windows, and lots of weapons.
Also of interest in Segovia is a church built long ago by the Knights Templar, of recent Da Vinci code fame.
I found this a bit boring, and I feel that I have seen almost all of the old churches that I need to see. But saying that, I did see the outside of a beautiful cathedral.
The best sight in Segovia is the aquaduct.
This structure is over 2000 years old and was built by the Romans. No cement or mortar was used in its construction, just great engineering. Amazing, just amazing. There is one more thing for the parents... a picture of my roomate and I in Segovia.

what a pretty castle- i am super-jealous. except, i wish that i could live in the castle, and not just visit. maybe someday i can engineer a castle (for people to live it... that would make it bme, right?)

I found your link, Clint. The pictures are really good and I'm glad to see that Stu is a normal looking dude. Of course, being from Texas I assumed he would be.
