On the Train through southern Spain

So we just arrived in Grenada. Thanks to a snafu at the Madrid train station, we were not able to get the train to Lisbon. While this was an unfortunate setback, we were only going to be there for 10 hours, and how much can u see in a city during such a short amount of time? This subtle question was lost on our ticket agent who, after changing all but one of our tickets, had steam coming out of her ears ;-)

Instead, we traveled to Cordoba a day early. The Mezquita is there; it is a huge medieval Islamic mosque that covers a whole city block. I have to say that it was one of the most impressive structures I have ever been in. Lots of pictures.

For those of you following "the saga of raul's bag", it turns out my luggage is on it's own European whirlwind tour. After 3 days with no news, AirFrance finally learned the whereabouts of my backpack, and the pack-that-never-was and I will have a lovely rendevous in Barcelona.
