This isn't Spain, it's Middle Earth

While in Córdoba we visited the Castle of the Christian Kings. It is the place where Christopher Colombus, Isabel and Ferdinand planned the world changing trip to India.
The interior wall and courtyard.
The tower as viewed from the garden.

This is me. Legolas and Gimli just missed being in the photo.


A statue of Fernando in the garden outside the castle.



Colombus asking for money to finance his exploration to India




This Angel watches over Córdoba.






The bridge over the River of Guadalquivir. That is the Cathedral in the background. I was going to ask that they move the crane, but I do not know the word in Spanish.

    That is really cool. Speaking of cool, how has the weather been? Is it still really hot? It's starting to cool down here, today anyways.
