Segovia with MJ

Our drive back through the mountains to Madrid saw some cool clouds and lighting.
Basically a miniature Versailles outside of Segovia.
The view of Segovia from the peak of the castle's tower.
After 100's of stairs up a winding turret, we made it to the tower.

The day after our trip to the beer factory, our wonderful señora MJ, short for Maria Jesus Monjas, had planned a trip for us to her home town of Segovia.
  I didn't even know she could drive a car, let alone that she owned one, but soon enough I found myself zooming through the spanish countryside sitting shotgun with MJ.
  Segovia is an amazing and historic town.  There are castles, a roman aqueduct and loads of old cathedrals and churches. 
 Thankfully we had a resident to show us around. A day with Mj proved to be a pretty fun/comical experience.
