Spain - Cordoba and Granada

In Cordoba, I decided to only spend the day there and get an evening train to Granada. I took the bus to a local square and walked down to the famous Mezquita (mosque). That was really cool seeing as it has a built in cathedral right in the center. Check out the pictures when I get a chance to post them. It was cool because I was there during a church service so I sat in the pews and prayed to Jesus...not really but it was an experience. I even thought about taking communion and then I decided that some lines are better un-crossed...don´t want to go to hell if it in fact exists. I then went to the Alcazar where Ferdinand and Isabel said goodbye and wished Columbus good luck on his journeys. The gardens were also nice. In the Juderia (Jewish quarter), I went to an old sinagogue, apparently on 1 of 3 left in Spain, looked at some shops and markets and went into a torture museum of the methods of the Inquisition. For lunch, I bought a roll, some cheese and sat in a park and read my book for about 3 hours. Then I went back to the gardens in the Alcazar and read for another hour just relaxing. I finally went to another touristy tower called La Calahorra which was lame but gave a great view. Then I took a train to Granada at 7:09pm

Granada - Last night, I was on the bus going towards my hostel that I hadn´t booked yet when I saw an American girl. We started talking and realized that we were both going to the same place. However, she told me that the place had moved and sure enough, she was right. So she saved my ass. We got a room and went to a bar and had a beer and tapas. The next morning, went to the Alhambra Palace together. It was enormous and we spend about 3 hours there. Then we went to the Albaicin (Moorish quarter) which was up on a hill. It was quite a hike to get there but we got to the top. Great view of the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada mountains covered in snow behind. Then I went back and chilled for a bit before getting on a 6pm train to Madrid. I am now at my hostel in Madrid and it´s really nice. I´ll spend 3 nights here and then off to Barcelona.

I´ll post the pictures of everything when I get to Audrey´s place in France
