Day two in Cordoba, and we had gone to the two main attractions the day before. So what to do? We crossed the 2,000 year old Roman Bridge and looked back.
 |
| I just love scaffolding in Europe. |
We also looked down the river.
And right into the Islamic Conversion Center at the other end of the bridge. I think that's how I remember it. Turns out that it is the
Torre de la Calahora, or
Calahorra Tower. I got a terrible photo of an incredibly awesome piece of artwork.
 |
| Really, why did it have to be blurry? |
Then we decided to suddenly go back to la Mezquita.
PSYCH! It was a miniature version, lol. The museum was pretty cool, and at the end, there was a little presentation about the awesomeness of Islam, and how many great thinkers came out of Islam,
perhaps in Cordoba.
Then it was time to amble around Cordoba and get photos of a bridge that managed to stand for 2,000 years. I suppose it helps that Tim Pawlenty and Jesse Ventura were never leaders in Spain.
I got a photo of a billboard.
 |
| According to Google Translate, that means "I did not steal the dough" and now it makes even less sense. |
We went down by the river to a stinky place and I had my sister take a picture of me.
We walked around more, looked at more things, I think I wrote post cards, and then, it was procession time.
 |
| These are Spanish Catholics. See that thing in the background? That's Mary, Mother of God. Spanish Catholics. |
After being attacked by the Virgin Mary, we were off to another procession. This one was by some old Roman pillars.
 |
| Sheesh, why was my camera so bad? |
More ornate things passed by, and I need everyone to remember that these are Spanish Catholics, please.
  |
These are Catho - HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT IS THIS?????
Spanish Catholics, they are Spanish Catholics. Sweet Jesus though... |
Then it was time for late night snacks, aka Spanish Dinner.
 |
| Por favor, no nos comen! |
I did not listen to the shrimp. They were delicious.
Then we went to bed in our worst room yet - a shared room with two other women. It sucked mightily.
