Long Time Traveller

The distance between Madrid and Sevilla is accomplished by bus in seven hours. That is with clear roads, and instead of clear roads, we have snow flakes. Places in Spain have not seen snow for the past thirty years. Roads are slippery and slow, and everyone is staying indoors and at home. Regardless, we persevered, stopping in Cordoba, about two hours from Sevilla, to tour La Mezquita, or mosque. The mosque is of considerable size. You’ll notice in the photos that after the Reconquest, the mosque was converted into a Christian Catholic church. Still, much of the original foundation and architecture stand, and the changes over the years have only added to the richness of this beautiful structure. http://picasaweb.google.com/sgauche, Espana, Part 3.

So sorry it takes so long to post. Internet access has been hard to come by. And even less reliable once connected. I do have much more to say on this subject and my need (addiction?) for connectivity, but this wireless may go down any minute, so…. Hasta luego.
