Sitting here, in
El Puerta del Sol, I'm beginning to realize that there is absolutely no way that I'll be able to do everything I want in the coming semester. Which is an extremely uptown problem to have, and obviously I feel very lucky to be here. But there's something very liberating about coming to terms with limitations. Instead of worrying about trying to visit every city under the sun, I can relax and enjoy my time in the places I do get to see.
To rewind a bit, we arrived in Madrid last night, after spending the afternoon in
Segovia. I'll write more about Madrid later, but Segovia was absolutely lovely. We visted the
Alcázar de Segovia, ate lunch in a tiny restaurant next to the cathedral, and generally explored the city, despite a bunch of wind and freezing rain.
My mind still feels pretty disconnected; I've been averaging two or three hours of sleep a night since we got here and, needless to say, that's taken a bit of a toll on my thought process. Regardless, here are some photos of Segovia.
