Palacete Mirador De Cordoba 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>

... to see them in the original state but it is what it is thanks to history. The town was small, beautiful and full of life but not a place I could live, I need more chaos! Overall I really enjoyed the visit to Cordoba, I never really realized how much I liked architecture and art until I got here and can't wait to explore it more in the coming months.

... city easily. <br>As always the Cathedral is one of the most visited areas to see. One of the most visited place in Cordoba is the Zaharat Archaeological place where most of the Muslims used to live long time ago. <br>By mid day we started to drive back to Madrid.

... with the pluralism of American Jewish life. For Russian Jews, as for most Jews outside the U.S., Judaism is an all or nothing affair-one is either Orthodox or secular. This model makes little sense in an American Jewish context that is now defined by terms like "post-denominational" and "Do-It-Yourself" Judaism that puts the individual, rather than the collective, at the center of Jewish identity and practice. But what was so striking about this conversation was ...

... lady was a little nutso and kept saying that there are 5 things equal in the world (7 casas en la monda iguala): going to the bathroom, eating, pregnancy, showers, and the last one she wanted us to figure out or something... It was so funny because she kept acting stuff out. Her daughter kept making the sign for loco! Then we had lunch- salad and soup w/ potatoes, carrots, chicken, etc.- muy bueno! I signed up for a trip to Morocco ...

... was slightly outside town. Madinat al-Zahra is the remains of the capital of al-Andalus in the 10th century. There is a lot of the city still to be uncovered, but it´s still quite an impressive sight. As a result of political struggles in the area between various small Muslim kingdoms, the city was targeted for its building materials etc and was only in active use for about 40 years after being built ...

... well received....HAHA. So today marks my last full day here in Seville and beautiful Spain. I must say that it was very sad getting on the bus this morning to go class, knowing that it would probably be the last time that I ever do that. This week has been pretty rough - every time I would go do something, I would think to myself how much I am going to miss it here. In this short amount of time, Seville ...

... with marble kings, muses making merry with pigeons and saints erected. Even though it requires dodging the traffic from five or six directions, the ones with saints serve the local community as informal shrines, and many have collections of votive candles clustered around their bases, glowing softly red in the morning haze. The Mezquita in Cordoba was intended to be Islam's most grandiose mosque. You pass through massive, heavily carved, bronze ...

... in the white maze (once again within a few days I might add, -I wonder if every city in the Andalusia will cause me trouble??) -but at least the area is beautiful and has lots to admire when I wander around somewhat aimlessly. I realized at the end of the day, that the taxi driver hadn't refused to drive me to the hostel I originally wanted to go to, but that he in fact was trying to tell me, that he couldn't drive there and that it would be too hard for him to explain me the way ...
