Probably we should have taken the train, but I picked a tour bus without the tour, because the pickup point was closer. Well, the AC was not working in the minivan, after arriving in Cordoba they dropped us off not at the agreed old town location, and wanted to shorten our time there by an hour. Regardless it was worth it. We ended up walking into town on a bridge the romans built. I saw pictures of this mosque cathedral before, but you have to be there to experience the massive size, wandering around between the 800 columns, then finding a church in the middle with a cross layout is unforgettable. We spent almost two hours here. Then we walked around in the jewish quarter, on streets from the Middle Ages. Another city where one day is just too short. Still we had time to taste an Andalusian specialty; ox tail stew.
Yes, there are things in our lives that are important, foundational, but we can get lost in these so easy. What are the things in your life that are in the center of your existence? Do you have a place where you can turn to for strength and hope?
