córdoba

today we went to Cordoba. The 1.5 hr bus trip was nice and uneventful. 5 of us were supposed to go, but 2 slept through their alarms and didn’t make it to the 9am departure. perhaps celebrating the end of class and expecting to get up in time to make it to the bus stop was a reach goal.

here are some pics:


cordoba w/ its history of la cultura arabe is all about the patio


so we took a patio tour








mezquita turned into a catedral during the reconquista


but so pretty they kept all the arches and the mihrab in tact


this is the dome of mihrab section. the position of the mihrab points to the direction of mecca


alcazar of cordoba


view from the alcazar tower


this is from the night before. a guy/hooker all in white that caught my attention


we were there all day and got home a little after 10pm. fun stuff. a day of cultural exploration to make up for a month of bad decisions and gross time mismanagement. yay!
