Views of the Cordoba Mosque


I love how the Spanish used mosaics of stone to create their "carpets".  "Floors" like this are all over the city in various parks.  The workmanship is just incredible.


A view of just a small part of the gardens.  That's the Mosque way in the background on the right edge 




The inside of the Mosque is deep and wide -- deceptive from the outside.  And it is filled with archways such as this.  They are magnificent and very peaceful to look at and walk under.

And finally......

The tree & photo that lost the tour (it IS a big tree; ya gotta admit)

  1. I am very sad you are leaving Spain. VERY sad. I am glad you are coming home, and looking forward to your pictures, but this was the best trip I ever took in my life.

  2. Carol, you have some breathtaking photos. The one of the Cathedral at night brought tears to my eyes. Also, reading the entry on nearly missing the plane--OMG-- I laughed and laughed. You should do humor travel shows for PBS. You really have a gift, with that wicked sense of humor.

    Now, I need to know your theory as to how you actually lose weight every time you travel. You realize, with most it's the opposite? You rebel, you. OK, see you Wednesday. Hope you get some sleep.
