Monday brought another beautiful day in Segovia. We got a nice start to the day, lazily walking around Segovia viewing the sights. We sat with Palomo, one of Jesus' friends, and had a glass of white wine with him on his break from studying. The white wine was perfect for the hot day. After we finished, we were heading back to the house for a siesta when we ran across Jesus' parents. They were sitting with Moro, a man who can best be described as "the most interesting man in the world" from the Dos XX commercials. He is about 5' tall and walks with a cane (but is surprisingly agile for 77 years old). Sitting with him and Jesus' parents, we had another drink and then Moro invited us back to his house for lunch. He wanted to bring us to his castle (!), but alas, there was not enough time that day. Moro's house was like a dream in a hobbit hole. With low ceilings, many different levels, and artwork everywhere, we sat around a table and drank more wine from glass goblets. I really felt like I was in a medieval mead hall; it was pretty incredible.
After lunch, we went home and ate crepes in Jesus' mother's restaurant (ZasCandil). Monday night brought much needed rest and relaxation. We were prepared for our next adventure.
