Cordoba and Cadiz

---

Things here are all good. I went on a day trip to Cordoba this Friday, which was nice. Not too
eventful, but it was really pretty. We went on a tour of a really old mosque and
a synagogue (i have no idea how to spell...I know). And we went to a pretty nice
lunch at this really cute place.

On Saturday a few of us went back to Cadiz, a nearby beach city and just spent the whole day doing nothing there, which was glorious. We just bought some bread, cheese, and
tomatoes and made some makeshift sandwiches (of course I hadn't even remembered
to bring my swiss army knife!). Aaaalmost got rid of my tan lines :-p

Sunday night we went to this Moroccan tearoom/hookah bar, which was really cute. We got there too late for the belly dancing, so decided to head to this flamenco bar, the Carboneria. Again, we were too late to see any dancing, but there were songwriters performing, playing the piano and singing. Quite impressive. One of the songwriters even "freestyle flamencoed" about me and a couple of my friends!

My group touring the narrow streets of Cadiz. It still catches me off guard every time I see a car manage to squeeze itself through.
