I have been a little sick lately, so waking up early Sunday morning to go to Cordoba was not something I had been looking forward to. Chrisy convinced me we should go, so I rallied and got up and ready to go (starting with a nice hot cup of tea.) The bus ride stopped about an hour and a half in to stop at a winery. (Yes... I love wine. Not.) The winery is called Alvear and is located in Montilla. At the end of the wine process, we had a little wine tasting party of three wines. I personally didn´t try them, except the last one. After seeing Chrisy´s reaction I don´t really think I missed much. Not to mention it was a little early (11am.) When we arrived in Cordoba we had some tiempo libre (free time) and we went to a little cafe (where the man was a jerk!) and ordered un cafe con leche (coffee with milk, which in Spain is a million times stronger than any black coffee I have ever had in the States) and a little pastry. I did a little souvenir shopping and then met back up with the group in order to tour the Juderia (the surrounding neighborhood) and the Mezquita. La mezquita was really interesting because I was a mix of Muslim and Christian influences. It was really quite beautiful (the architecture is phenomenal and so intricate!) It was a quick trip, but in the end I´m happy I got my shit together and went.
Now, I am almost all caught up for blogging!
