Cordoba and the Flu



These past two weeks, I have been getting over the flu, and it was harder than I've ever experienced. The Saturday before last, my friend was in town from Madrid so we hung out for a while until my body began to feel very achy. I went home, got in the bed, and slept until Monday. My body was so weak, and I was exhausted. Finally, I decided that I should see a doctor since I was missing class and could barely walk. The doctor gave me four different medications and sent me on my way. Instantly, I began to feel better. I went to class the next day, and each day felt easier. I guess my body is not used to the germs here. Many of the students have been sick and are continuing to get sick.
This past Saturday we drove three hours to Cordoba, Spain. We went to a museum of architecture called El Museo de Madinat al-Zahra, which had pieces of ancient buildings in Cordoba. After, we walked around the city and went the Cathedral of Cordoba, which is a very popular church known for its architecture and Islamic background. Luckily, I was feeling better so I could handle all the walking we were doing.
This weekend, beginning tomorrow, I am going to Paris, France! I'm staying directly in the city only minutes away from the Eiffel Tower. I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures.
