Segovia, an ancient Roman town

"Vouloir est pouvoir!", a French saying which roughly means "You can, as long as you want!" ("Muốn là được!") has always been in my mind since I was a high-school student. More than 5 years after I left the school I could have a chance to start utilising the internet when this service became open to the public in Vietnam in 1997. When navigating the global network I found an interesting destination: Segovia. I dreamed of visiting this ancient town since then. And my dream came true 12 years later. Finally I have ever been here!

Located just approx. 1 hour from Madrid, Segovia is a UNESCO's World Heritage town with its famous Roman aqueduct bridge built around 2000 years ago. According to the WIKI, this is the longest part of the enormous aqueduct bridge that has still remained nowadays from Roman Emperors in Iberian peninsula. There were a number of other sites within the town worth seeing too: churches, museums and even the bus station.

I hope to come back to this ancient town one day in the near future.
