  • Cordoba’s Medieval Mosque

    Cordoba’s Medieval Mosque

    25Feb2019:  The drive to Cordoba was dotted with vineyards and orchards.  Our day trip itinerary featured La Mesquita Catedral de Cordoba.  Its grandeur did not disappoint.  When the Christians conquered the Moorish regions they didn’t smash this religious space- rather they added onto the Mosque creating a church-mosque combination. We lost count of the arches…

    Belfast, Very Fast

    KK and I caught up on the drive up the Irish coast to Belfast.  It’d been two years since we’d seen each other.  Admittedly, we made a few detours between Dublin and Belfast as we were gabbing so much we forgot to check the GPS.  Lori and her colleague, Gabe, in the car behind us…

    Rome wasn’t built in a day…

    But we tried to see it in one. My mom felt that she might not return to Italy so Rome became a must on her list.  I planned an itinerary that brought us to some of the most visited landmarks.  My mom participated in the local coin toss at Trevi Fountain, and bought rosary beads…
