Cordoba

After our tour of Alhambra we left Granada and heading to Cordoba to the famous Mezquita on our way to Sevilla. It took us about three hours to get to Cordoba. I tried writing some of my blog on the bus, because I knew how long it was going to be. I ended up falling asleep with my computer on my lap. On the bus ride we past through a thunderstorm. My first Spanish thunderstorm! I just love thunderstorms.

Once we got to the Cordoba we got off the bus and headed to famous the Mezquita. The Mezquita had an interiour garden with is typical of Arabic design. Jesus took us into the Mezquita next. When we walked in, and we were blown away by the sheer size of the mezquita. It seemed to stretch for ever which arch after arch after arch. All the arches were striped with white and red brick. This made quite an interesting effecting seeing row and colomn after row an column of all these red and white arches. Jesus told us that after the Muslims were kicked out of Spain the mezquita was converted into a cathedral. The interior of the Meztiqua looked like a traditional 18th century cathedral and sprinkeled throughout the Meztiqua was christain relics and religious paintings.

We were given free time after the tour of the Mezquita to walk around Cordaba before we left for Sevilla. I walked around with Ashley and my parents and then headed back to the bus. Sevilla was our next stop. It took us another two hours to get to Sevilla. Our hotel was located, like usually on the outskirts of town. We had a group dinner in the hotel that evening. Our hotel was pretty nice, but it only had Wi-Fi in the lobby. I was getting so spoiled with the free Wi-Fi. It’s just such a luxury!
