Hotel Selu Sercotel Córdoba

We got up at 11am and drove to the old city of Toledo for a tour of the Cathedral. The cathedral was built in 1226 and took 267 years to complete. It was soooo beautiful. Shae was a trooper again. She hung in her stroller for our walking tour of the cathedral (over an hour). We headed up the mountain side so Mike could get a large format shot with the big dog camera. I hope the pictures turn out!

We left Toledo and headed out on our 3 ...

... to know that we are off to one little town to relax for the next 3 days or so..... thankfully we were able to buy tickets and we are pretty tired since we have been up since 4am to catch a flight at 6am this morning... why you ask, do we do this to ourselves on vacation... we have been asking ourselves the same question...

peace out! our bus leaves in 22 minutes...

... for some reason. He was the same age as my kids and, there but for the grace of God, go them. I gestured for him to come over and slipped him a 5 Euro note. Usually they get 20% of a single Euro on a good table; most don’t make eye contact. He stared at the note, softly said “Wow”, smiled, and shuffled off.

I like to hope travelling helps connect us. I look for those little connections.

... the tour guide looked at me when he spoke in English and then I think he realized I understood Spanish. During his English explanations, I used the time to take pictures. On the tour we were able to see some of the patios that Córdoba is known for. They also had an actor recreate two figures from local history. While the actor spoke to us as "Maimonides," we had a little bit of excitment. Police surrounded a nearby hotel. It ...

... tour of the old Jewish quarter of the town, which was very picturesque and somewhat similar to the Barrio Santa Cruz in Sevilla. We visited one of the only three surviving synagogues in all of Spain (the other two are in Toledo). There is a Courtyard and a Street of Flowers, in which flower pots cover the walls of all the buildings. From there, there is a good view of the Minaret tower through the alleyway. All over this part of town, the Muslim architectural ...

ah cordoba what can I say other than its the one place in spain my older brother didn't go to but really wanted to, hence face rubbing time. Naturally I“m going to say its wonderful, its warm sunny and full of history. We started of going to the church/mosque what you call it depends on whether your a local or not. the building was an amazing feat of moorish construction which the spanish ...

... leave next Saturday by train to Paris. Well, we were told that our train ride was covered by the tuition fees we paid for this trip. And it is - however, our professors neglected to tell us until just now that we have to pay for the train from Seville to Madrid on Saturday. So there goes another $98.88 that I was also not planning on paying. I'm thinking that I should just withdraw all what I have left in my bank account and just send all of it in a big envelope to the ...

... can“t remember the name of it, but the church is really small and decorated in crazy baroque style. After hearing the history of every painting and every sculpture in the church, we took a guided walk around one of the city“s oldest neighborhoods, Barrio de Santa Cruz. It was full of winding, narrow streets and hidden plazas...very pretty. But everyone was complaining of the heat. (i personally didn“t think it was too bad...but ...

... Spain with stops in Alhama de Granda, Antequera, Algeciras, Tarifa, Jerez de la Frontera, Huelva (actually, that was more getting lost, not a "stop"), Spain; and even Faro, Portugal. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it!! I truly wish I had more time to explore southeast Asia. The time there was too short. Thailand was amazing, and I enjoyed Bangkok much more as I continued to explore the city. Found lots of great things to see and do, and even made ...
