Tuesday was our fieldtrip day, where we visited El Escorial and Segovia! El Escorial is an ancient monastery where the King of Spain once lived. We had a tour of the entire place and it was so cool. All of the kings, queens, princesses, and other royal family are buried throughout the monastery. And they took us to the room where all the Kings and Queens are buried, dating back to the very first King of Spain.
All of the queens are on one side and all the kings are on the other side -- this place was so neat
After visiting El Escorial, we headed towards Segovia! I was so excited to see Segovia since I have had a few friends that have studied there before and I had heard them talk about how awesome it was. We had lunch at this great little cafe called Meson Mayor where we all tried some of Segovia's famous dishes. After lunch, we had more tours of the castles and monastery's... shocking right? whats one more monastery to see on this trip!
