On our way to Morocco, Africa!!!
We did it! We all woke up on time in spite of the time change, jet lag, THE RAIN, and already being tired from a busy day yesterday. We met up at our meeting point at 6:30am and were all on the bus by 7am. We are almost in the city of Tarifa were we will catch our boat. It’s not raining here, but it is in the forecast.

Returning from Córdoba
We left Córdoba around 5:30-6pm by his and got home around 7:30. We all went straight home because we have to wake up earlier enough to be at our meeting point at 6:30AM. Tomorrow is the trip to Morocco (Africa) we have to meet at 6:30, drive to a city called Tarifa to catch our boat at 8am. The boat ride is an hour. We will return home later tomorrow night.
Here is how Brandon feels about waking up early... Again! I bet he’ll be up though, LOL!!! Ha knows he’s having lots of fun.
Most of us slept on the bus, toward the end the bus got in a heated discussion about basketball and woke us all up. It’s all good though. We were almost home and they were happy, excited.
Here are a few more pix from our day!
La Mezquita de Córdoba
La Mezquita means “the mosque”. While Spain was being ruled by the African the main religion was Islam and in this same location was a massive empty. In 1592 the Europeans got the upper hand, tore down the mosque and build a catholic cathedral in its place. It is still known as La Mezquita, however.
Our tour guide Manuel got us audio machines so we could hear him explain what we were seeing without being loud and without us having to remain super close to him. It was a pretty cool experience and La Mezquita was absolutely beautiful.
Córdoba sightseeing
After seeing Los Alcazares Reales we went to the old downtown area of Córdoba for lunch and souvenirs.

Córdoba Spain day trip
Today was our day trip to Córdoba. We met at our pick up sport at 8am and got on our bus for our 2 hour drive to Córdoba. We mostly slept on the way there, waking up to get breakfast and snacks at a rest stop.
Our guide Manuel was awesome and taught us all about the history of Córdoba.
The castle was amazing and we the former home of King Ferdinand and Isabela, the spring royals who funded Cristopher Columbus’ trip to discover America.
