Segovia

Rucita · 04-11-2003, 06:06 PM

Hello,

I'd like introduce you into Segovia, the town where I live. I have my job in Madrid, but I live in Segovia, which is very near to the capital of Spain. There you are some links:

www.viasegovia.com
www.aytosegovia.com

We have the Roman "acueducto":

Also the "Alcazar":

The food here is pretty good! and, well... there isn't a McDonalds

He was a fine guitarist but naming a whole town after him seems a bit over the top.

You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.

wolf · 04-12-2003, 07:53 AM

It is quite beautiful, indeed.

(They may have roman remains, but WE have high speed internet!

)

Who is we white girl?

wolf · 04-12-2003, 10:04 AM

Slangsylvania AND the Very Independent Republic of Wolfslovakia, of course. Who did you think I meant??

I feared people would think the Reactionary Republic of Griftopia had jumped on the broadbandwagon before the industry had sorted itself out.

But you do have a Taco Bell, right?

wolf · 04-12-2003, 10:46 AM

Silly man, tacos are Mexican, not Spanish!

(They do have a Paella Hut, though.)

Sorry, I don't smoke, and you misspelled panetella.

The Constitutional Monarchy of Sycamoreland is willing to trade you broadband for your Yerba Mate. That way, we won't have to invade you for it anymore.

Actually, Andres Segovia was born in Linares, Spain. How far is that from Segovia, Rucita?

I wrote a great reply a few minutes ago about how, except for travelling to Israel, I have not been near anything built before the late 1400's. And how seeing an example of complex engineering that still stands after thousands of years is very impressive. Then I hit the wrong button and deleted it.

Anyway, please accept in exchange for the beautiful pictures from your town, this picture of the Rocky Statue which stands in front of the Spectrum arena, located next to Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium, which is an example of how the Romans would have built the Colliseum if exposed to the modern concepts of poured concrete and lowest bid sub-contractors.

If you can have your guy here between 12 and 3 monday, its a done deal.

wolf · 04-12-2003, 04:09 PM

You want I should pick it up on my way home? Might have to make some adjustments to the time ...
