Jay’s sister, Heather, visited for a week at the beginning of November. She came with a friend from law school (Kim) and they did an impressive amount of touring in the short time they were here. We all enjoyed their visit very much. We were able to tag along on a couple of short trips to sites in Madrid (a churro-hunting excursion and a visit to the Prado Art Museum).

It is a 1 hour drive, but since we lack a vehicle, we all took a high-speed train. This boys thought this was pretty cool. Segovia is a lovely place with beautiful architecture and interesting food. The photos below are of our favorite sites: the Roman aqueduct, the cathedral, and the castle. One of Emily’s favorite parts of the excursion was the drinking chocolate at the panaderia… so yummy! James and Simon liked the castle best and insisted on ordering all of the pastries with sprinkles. We’re not really sure why but, when you’re a kid, apparently sprinkles make everything taste better.
