Between homework and travel planning one of the other things I have enjoyed most about Spain is the opportunity to run. This picture was taken on one of my runs and is a path that circles around the Castle. What has impressed me so much is truly how beautiful the area is. Of course, this is only one image and can not capture the senses of touch, smell, and hear, it does provide an example of what Segovia has to offer. What I enjoy so much about study abroad is the opportunity to be a part of that community/culture. As a tourist it is also possible to see the sights and learn about the history. However, it doesn’t always allow a person to find some of the little things that make the place special. It is said that there is the history and the inter history. The history being the big picture and landmark events and the later the individual moments and stories within or beneath the momentous occasion. This study abroad experience allows us that. I enjoy the running because I get to see places like this path in and around Segovia that I would miss as solely a tourist.

It is great to hear that you feel like part of a community. Running is a great way to get to know the city and its people. Keep it up!
