CORDOBA

Drove north east to Cordoba where we got a real fancy hotel, well for me anyhow and it was on the outskirts of town in the hills.
 Called Juan Carlos whom I had stay with me when he was in Montana on his world trip about 20 months ago and he had just arri ed back home 3 weeks ago from that trip. We had a great reunion  and went to his Mas Gas Club and then out for dinner. Was great to catch up and hear about his travels.
We explored Cordoba and it is a beautiful city with centuries of history and churches and ruins as the photos below depict.
