Cordoba

What I had not mentioned in regards to Malaga was that there was some religious parade going on in the city, we couldn't get a taxi at our hotel because when we left they were passing by, not to mention we were overwhelmed by the incense. Unfortunately, it followed us to Cordoba. The restaurant owners in the main square would not serve food until the parade had passed--I guess too many waiters wanted to watch all that went by. What was strange, they covered the streets in evergreen leaves. Still don't know what it was for, but we're hoping somebody enlightens us. Other than that. Cordoba is a lovely city. White-washed buildings in the old town, the people are very friendly, and the Catedral (aka Mezquita) is massive and very cool. It was fun to expose Erin to a typical coastal city in Spain and then to one of the small treasures in the center. She loved it, just like me, you turn a corner and can't believe how beautiful everything is. She's currently suffering from my sickness, falling in love with plates and bowls and buying them; and frankly, we're lucky we were able to get everything on the train. Getting home should be quit entertaining with all the breakables! But every time we use the dishes we'll always remember what a beautiful city Cordoba, Spain was!
