Also in Segovia is the Roman Aquaducts, crazy thing about them is that worked up until 20 years ago and would still work today except that the city decided to close them to preserve them. And...The aren't even kept together with cement or mortar it is all just the way the stones are stacked. Also check out the picture of me and the mini cooper...if you thought I was tall at home I think I either grew here, or everything shrank.
I remember being struck by how compact and efficient things seemed to be, all over Europe. Really made me look at the "bigger is better" US mentality as so wasteful. And just wait, you'll get used to "less is more", then be shocked by how excessive things look when you come back home!
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy how resourceful everything is. In the states we talk about being green and saving the environment and our resources, but it seems to me Europe is far more efficient in this aspect.
