This aquaduct was build by the romans in the 4th century, it has
been takeing out of service, but it is still capable of being used..
this is in Segovia, lots of neat structures and history to look at.

Castle in Sogovia, this castle has cliffs on 3 sides and a deep mote in the front.


Heidi had a kick dealing with this gypsi selling her things, she just kept handing things to her and would turn and find something else, Heidi would put it down and before she could move she would have 2 more things in her arms. she ended up buying a net blouse that she has in her hands, but had a lot of fun in the processes,




we showed up about 2 oclock, most of the shops are closed while they have their daily afternoon seista time, until after 4pm. that is why the streets are empty in some of the pictures...









Monistary in Segovia, lots of pigions on all the high buildings...





Castle in Toledo is surounded by river on three sides and cliff on back. this is the only enterance.




Toledo looking across the river, lots of people....




Some of the local kids in Toledo, they enjoyed laughing at us
funny americans.











there is always a MC around the corner some where's in some of the major cities, it is a common reference piont to meet or base directions from,,


we hired a young man named Igor to be a guide around Moscow, he did a great job helping us get around...










Who would of thought that we would be standing in the middle of Russia looking at christmas decorations and trees...
















We just finished our 3rd Visa trip. We took a little time and did a little site seeing, Red square, Kremlin, Madrid, Toledo, Segovia. It rained on us most of the time, but even with the rain, it was a great improvement over the _30 degrees we left in tomsk and now have come back to. It is pushing -40 today and they say it will get colder this comming week. the green hills of spain were enjoyable to see and tour thru.
