Córdoba, the mosque

Hello all! It's been sunny and rainy all this morning here. There was a thunderstorm about noon and I had to pull in my laundry a second time out of the rain. It hasn't been able to dry for two days. :(

By default, I'm stuck in Badajoz this Sunday. Sundays can be pretty uneventful around here. so I had planned to go up to Guadalupe with the people that I dance with. They are going to see the black Virgin and the Monastery there. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get up and down to the bus by 8 this morning because I went to Córdoba yesterday with some friends.

We went to see the Cathedral of Córdoba which was originally the most important Mosque this side of Baghdad. We also saw one of the few remaining Synagogues in Spain.

So, I'm just sitting in my room today, reading a book about a Jewish family during the Spanish Inquisition and listening to a Lutheran podcast. Someone speaking Arabic keeps calling me from Morocco accidentally which was kind of exciting the first time it happened. It's raining again, so I think I'll go make myself some loose-leaf almond tea that I got yesterday. Ciao for now!
