Art, Architecture, Culture, etc.

Art, Architecture, Culture, etc. All factors present in Segovia. This is a simple fact of life. As much of a fact as the "Birds and the Bees". icant say that i was surprised to see the large quantity of art that is here because it is in one way or another prefaced to you in the process of enrollment, in the program, the pamphlets, and so on. The way we are learning all these things in class, such as the history of Spain the different regions the conflicts , things such as Fascism, national identity, regional identity, ow Nadal won that LONG F'ing match today (which was absolutely incredible by the way). These are all great things.  I was especially fond of the lesson i learned the other day from Sra. Rubio. She explained to the class the reason behind why the horses portrayed in commemorative statues built for generals, commanders, etc. have one leg up, two legs up, or no legs up. It goes like this: Two legs up = Died while in battle. One leg up = Died from Battle wounds. NO leg up = Died of natural causes. And in the case of Juan Bravo, no horse, because he was considered by the king who defeated him a traitor to his nation. Interesting eh?

Oh. check out my photo of the School of Modern Art and Something Or Other. Nice rrright?
