Las Adelfas Hotel Córdoba

I need to post my photos from the Alcazar. And I now need to post photos from the Mezquita in Cordoba. Both were awesome. Beyond words. They require pictures. But, I am too lazy to post them right now. However, I have a 3.5 hour ride to Granada tomorrow. So hopefully I will get a bit more organized during that trip and post when I arrive at the oasis... no, the hostel is actually called Oasis. :)<br><br>Hasta luego mis amigos!<br>

... amazing. I would love to describe everything I saw but am having a hard time finding the right words...it is just one of those things you need to see for yourself to fully apprecaite. Despite how beautiful these buildings are it saddens me that so many of these buildings were altered from their original state. It would have been absolutely ...

... was the big day - I would finally start my program! The morning before was spent in the Mezquita, which is the famous Mosque that Cordoba is known for. It was converted into a Cathedral after the inquisition. This beautiful, massive building contains hundreds of pillars and arcos dobles (Yep...learned that in Art History) with red and white stripes on them. It's incredible. Plopped in the center of the "mosque" is a humonguous, ornate Cathedral that, to be perfectly honest, is ...

"The deadbeats" got lost in the breakfast room, which is pretty hard to do, believe me. Luckily, someone guided them back to their table. Thank the lord they didn't come to Cordoba today, or we'd have lost them forever. Cordoba is the site of an ancient mosque, which then had a cathedral built over the top of it, because the Catholics were too cheap to build one from scratch, so they just used the existing mosque infrastructure, and ...

Ah... One of the cities in Spain by far is Cordoba. If you are into photography, night shots of the old city of Cordoba is a must to do. The city is surrounded by a fortress. We got a room in a hotel just outside of the old city. 15 minutes walk will take you to the ...

Just a quick blog about......well things... 1) I learned today that most non Jewish Americans get their kids circumcised for health reasons..... 2) The internet is retarded......I cannot book a hostel or hotel if im arriving that day.....and websites dont often provide telephone numbers..... 3) Being articulate and not panicking is a bad thing....apparently.....http://www.cbsn ews.com/stories/2007/03/09/politics/mai n2552110.shtml 4 ...

Dick´s 65th birthday celebrated Córdoba-style! Dear family and friends, The southern part of Spain has slowed us down, not because it´s hot (the weather has been wonderfully cooperative most of the trip), but because of the culture. One could say that Spaniards take time to smell the roses and drink the wine (or coffee, or beer)! All day long, whenever they can. We try that, too. That is, in between visits to churches, cathedrals and ...

... guy than decides we should get a beer. After all it's Saturday night. This town is a dud thou. We wander around and after a while I just say we're going in here or that's it. We go in order a pint and guess what. For the use of the guests, free internet. Now that's a 2-fer. I check some stuff on line and go back to drinking. After a bit, the bar is closing and the 2 of us go back to the hostel. I swear I fell asleep 30 seconds later. I was exhausted.

... the friction from the Earth's movements. Next we went to the Synagogue, which is located in the old Jewish quarter. On the way there we stopped and admired the cute quarter, with its flowers hanging everywhere and a little fountain in the middle. It reminds me of a butterfly garden. Anyways, the Synagogue is not used today as a place of worship. Where we went, it was basically a small room with very high ceilings ...

... from the school that we are studying at. Groups were re-assigned this morning as well - and I am in a group with ALL girls...HAHA They are all really cool though, so I don't think that there will be any problem. Even the Spanish student that we are working with these next few weeks is a girl...here name is Laura (pronounced Lara) and she is in her 5th year of ...
