Having trouble loading pictures,will try again tomorrow in Seville.  This is our third day in Cordoba, it is a beautiful town and I have taken over a hundred pictures.  The first day we got here mid afternoon, walked around till around 10 seeing numerous histories sites and neighborhoods, soaking in the culture.  Yesterday started the day with an audio tour of the Mosque/Cathedral which took about three hours then on to the Alcazar an ancient Moorish military post now filled with amazing gardens.  Rested a couple of hours then out for an evening of site seeing and a Flamenco show at 10:30, walking back to hotel about 1.   Today was a demonstration parade followed by a May Day parade and every square in town is having their own parties, three days of celebrating. All the squares are by churches and they have big crosses decorated with flowers as part of the celebration.  We are heading out again now for supper and to take in more of the celebrations, music and dancing.  Will head to Seville tomorrow for two nights then to Granada.   Doing as much as we can in these last few days.  Then home to recuperate!!!  Sending a hug with love from Spain
