Vivian:: Siete Picos en Segovia






This week has flown by honestly. I cannot believe how much has happened to us individually and as a group. Michelle and I made a last minute decision to join a hiking group for one of the Sunday all day hikes. This one took place in Segovia which only took us an hour and 15 minutes by bus. Also, the bus was completely packed with hikers and two little girl from Colorado ready to tackle some mountains. The name of the area was Siete Picos where there were seven peeks one of which we spent the day on. Even before leaving on the bus we met Rachel, a Madrileño, her boyfriend from Connecticut, David from Ireland teaching English in Madrid for business people, Katie (Michelle's friend) traveling from Florida, two Americans teaching English in Madrid for the past year, a few people from Holland, a few other Madrileños just wanting to hike and so many more. I honestly could not be happier with how that whole day went, other than a woman getting lost, I hope she made it back okay.  But it was only 12 euro for the whole guided hike, snacks and lunch. Joseph, our guide could have been a little more cautious but meeting everybody was definitely worth it. We learning so much about how other have adjusted to living abroad and I could definitely see myself teaching English in a Spanish speaking country some year of my life.
