Southwestern Spain

A five hour nap (I'm sorry I mean bus ride) later, we are FINALLY in southwestern Spain! I can already tell this will be my favorite part of the country. We left Madrid at 8 am and took a pit stop in Cordoba for lunch. When we pulled up to Cordoba, it was POURING down rain. Still groggy from my nap, I was not too happy about walking around in the rain. Instead of letting the weather affect our time, we walked around the city square to local shops. Cordoba is known for it's leather so we were sure to check out some local leather shops on our way to find some food. We walked around the city square and even got to walk across a 2,000 year old Roman Bridge. I love walking around the cities here. Who cares if I look like a tourist everywhere with my digital camera???

We left Cordoba and headed to Sevilla where we will stay for the next two days. We got into the city and checked into our hotel kind of late so we grabbed a bite to eat and then headed back to the hotel to watch the huge soccer game that happened tonight. It was basically equivalent to the super bowl in America. It was fun to watch and cheer for the Real Madrid team. Of course I accidentally hit the remote with my elbow and made the TV turn off on the winning goal. I'm coming home with a Real Madrid tshirt and jersey so I guess you could call me a fan now!
