Cordoba
wow...The mesquite or mosque in Cordoba is amazing. It is huge because Cordoba used to be huge. It is the only remaining mosque in Cordoba because the King at one point ordered That it be. Catholic and so they put in an altar. had it nit been used everyday it would have been destroyed as the other mosque's were when the Muslims were pushed out.
we were allowed to take pictures inside so I will insert them when I can. Y DES ription would not do justice to what we saw. Even Katie, who has had no teaching in school yet on the different religions, could not stop taking pictures.
When we got to the gold part I could not believe how many gold treasures there were. Religion should be based on faith, not money.
the rest of Cordoba reminds me of Mexico more than the other places we have visited here in Spain. it is warm and the buildings are like Toledo but all white and yellow. Old Cordoba has cobblestones and narrow roads that cars actually drive on.
we also had a Spanish cook walk us through making tapas...eggs and potatoes...delicious. we had sweet oranges and tuna defiled eggs....delicioso. We have been trying all kinds of foods and the travel service makes sure Katie a vegetarian meal. the tour guy, an English, Spanish speaking Jewish person named Baruch, is also a vegetarian and he sets every meal with us, so he makes sure Katie's meals are sin carne (without meat).
there was a religious parade today in honor of holy week. The Catholics dressed in fancy robes and either black hats or purple hats/masks, looking like the kkk, while they had musicians marching....kids, adults....women in black veils. it was interesting.
Never u derstood people fighting ipover religion, but the. Ore I see how strong religion is and how far back it goes (visually seeing the structures of practice)the more I u derstand it, but still don't agree with it.
