The six hour drive through spain looked remarkably
like california vistas... some entertaining
pictures for you: click to

In Cordoba we toured a previously-Muslim Mosque which had been
converted in to a Catholic Cathedral. (go figure.) Apparently, once-upon
-a-time ago, all three of the
monotheist religions lived quite peacefully
together until politics
interfered and all the Jewish people...sort...of.... Immigrated. I Expected
them to say something
more about The Spanish Inquisition, but it was
sort of understated. hmmm.Anyway, I took an absurd number of photos of the Mosque and all of its hundreds and hundreds of pillars.. and of the
ceiling and the wall that points to Mecca and of the open doorways. It was beautiful. There were so many arches, i couldn't keep track.
I will probably upload my photos onto Google from here but not from Seville unitl after I get
them from my friends' computers.
Anyway, here are a few from Cordoba: feel free to click on them to see the full shots.
