    Spain Part 2 - Madrid and Segovia

    Here is Spain - Part 2.  This episode discusses my visit to the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and some of the artwork that caught my eyes.  I also discuss some of the grand buildings in Madrid which I saw on May 20th.  Then I take you for the first half of May 21st (Tuesday) to Segovia.  Around 30-45 minutes northwest of Madrid, Segovia is like a fairy tale village.  The three highlights of Segovia are its alcazar, cathedral, and Roman aqueduct.  I would love to return to see more of Segovia.
