#25 In Madrid

Hello Everyone I've been in Madrid for a few days now and really thought I had entered a post so I was surprised to see the last one was Granada. Madrid is a busy city. My hostel is ok, excellent location but I've stayed at better places. It is also very hot. You have to like "night life" to enjoy Madrid and I'm not big at partying at night. I've gone to Segovia, did a walking tour one day, went to one museum and saw works by Picasso and Dali. It is just so hot and I'm not really into modern art. So tomorrow I leave for Barcelona. I have to return to Madrid around August 22nd because I have to pick up my passport from the Indian Embassy. I could kick myself that I didn't get my Indian Visa when I was home in the US. Now it is taking twice the time, costing almost twice the money, and I have to walk around in Spain without a passport for two weeks. Not the smartest thing I have ever done so learn from my mistake. I guess I was concentrating so much on the Camino, that I forgot the rest of my trip. I am also going to have to get a visa for Australia and I am giving it some good thought on when and where I should do that? So this is me in Segovia

And this is what some people think was the inspiration to Walt Disney for his castle. I don't think so.

And this last one is the Roman Aqueduct in Segovia. I'll try to be more up-to-date for you. Here I come Barcelona. Love, Marie
