Cordoba Center Córdoba

... hour drive to Cordoba. Shae slept most of the way. The drive was nice with beautiful scenery of olive orchards the whole way there. We arrived in Cordoba - which is a huge city - early evening. We had dinner in one of the many squares in town. It was pretty good food. We walked around the square a bit - but we were already done with the big city on the first night. We couldn't wait to get to Montejaque in the mountains the next day.

WE basically got off the local bus, I tell CAthou let“s find this freaking site so we can get it over with... it came out of my mouth so naturally.... I am so tired of being a tourist... too funny...
so tired that the second I walk into the Mezquita... I unconsciously head straight for the exit.... I had to back track a little and make my way back to CAthou....

... to signal ‘everyone out’ and at 8pm or so, we were back into the blast furnace, the streets still sunny, now only in the high 30’s temperature.

The other day, having drinks under a shade umbrella, I look up and there’s a young man about early 20’s. He had two cases on wheels beside him. In one was every possession he owned. After a lengthy wait sizing up the head waiter ...

... is Shmuel Ha-Nagid writing to? Is this an issue of Hebrew grammar or, um, um..." Shmuel Ha-Nagid's poetry, so deeply shaped by Arabic poetic forms, provoked these kinds of amazing conversations about homoeroticism in medieval Hebrew poetry. But perhaps the most interesting conversation of the day happened when one of the participants from Kiev and I started talking about the future of Judaism and Jewish life. I already knew that most Russian-speaking Jews have little ...

... where they have like little outdoor aerobic machines, like a rower and elliptical, but not like electronic... it looks like so much fun. There were also these old men playing bocce ball and a guy playing the trumpet on a bench. I came back and Lola, her cleaning lady, cleaning lady's daughter, and Holly were all in the kitchen, so I came in and sat for a while, practicing my Spanish verbs and trying to understand what was going on. The ...

... purposes. It“s very weird because there are features from both Muslim and Christian architecture in it. The other good thing about the Mezquita is that is provided welcome relief from the heat outside as it was pleasantly cool and shaded. However that respite ended at about 4pm when we were again led on more of a walking tour of the city. By this time, all 12-15 of us on the bus were decidedly ...

So contrary to the last week or so, I had a VERY busy day today that did not only include doing homework. As you all may know from reading my previous entries, today we had our final presentations for the Design Workshop & I must say - it went better than I could have possibly imagined. We had a whole panel of professors and architects from the University of Seville come in & critique our work & I must admit that I was a little nervous at ...

... first time I“ve heard real Spanish music, as whenever I went out in Portugal I didn“t really get to hear the kind of current music that people there listened too. For all I know it could have been ****** 80“s Spanish tunes, but it was still cool. It“s funny to compare people over here at clubs to how North Americans tend to be. Spanish and European guys really like to dance. It was quite funny to watch how involved with it they got. Not that they were ...

... probably the only thing I didn't have trouble finding. It is in fact kind of hard to miss. The Mesquita is incredibly huge, and it has even been rebuilt and expanded several times. Its main characteristic has not been changed though: the forest of pillars inside of it with their significant red and white brick arches. It truly is amazing to walk around inside of this substantial religious building. It really does look just as incredible unique like on postcards. Afterwards I got ...
