Oh, the places we've gone.

I just added that map in the sidebar to the right.

And we thought that we travelled a lot. Ha! Clearly, we have some work to do.

Perhaps we'll start playing the lottery... or maybe Mike can engineer a Money Tree?!

More Spain.

I'm nearing the end of Spain photos selected for the blog, so enjoy!

Flamenco in Cordoba

These last few pics are from Cordoba, taken at La Mezquita, a religious structure with a stunning interior and varied history. The structure began as a Christian Visigothic Church around 600AD, was then refashioned into a mosque for 500 years beginning in 711, and in 1236 became the Catholic diocese of Cordoba.

SPAIN Part III

We're in Hong Kong at the moment, but our blog is still stuck in Spain.

Here's another installation of photos - this time from Sevilla, our favorite city of the trip.

Charming and bodega-laden, Sevilla has managed to retain its turn-of-the-century charisma despite the high number of tourists trawling the streets. This kind of old-world beauty amidst 21st century tourism reminded us of Venice, whose magic shone through in a similar way.

Updated to add: GO SOX!
