Swords and Stuff in Segovia

Plaza de San Esteban wasn't the only place that reminded me of my little brother today. Streets of sword-filled souveneir shops led us to Alcazar, a fortress that dates back to the 12th century.

The giant structure has also served as a royal residence, prison, and artillery school over the years. We walked around the museum rooms on the bottom floor, which is where I took this stone glass picture of the knight.

Then we climbed up a steep spiral staircase to the top of the tower. The panoramic view of the city was gorgeous.. When the wind wasn't blowing hair in my eyes at least.
