Its early Wednesday morning here in Israel.
Its been three weeks since I've been in Spain/Portugal.
I'm leaving for Germany/Czech Republic/Hungary/Turkey tomorrow.
WELCOME TO MY LIFE.
Wuddup
My lovesession (love and obsession) for day moons continue throughout the world.
Calle De Las Imagenes, I love that this street is called Imagination Street.
Cordoba, Spain.
Meet Haim.
He is a descendant from the conversos Jews. Growing up his grandfather took him to the Jewish quarter in Cordoba, Spain, every Sunday morning. His grandfather brought him to the synagogue and taught him about the Jewish history of Spain. This sparked an obsessive interest in Judaism in Haim. Every school research paper he related back to the Jews of Spain. One of his teachers suggested to Haim that might be a descendant of the conversos due to his Jewish sounding last name. He converted to Judaism and now he's studying in a rabbinical school in London. He is also rebuilding the first Jewish community in southern Spain in 500 years. When Haim gets his ordination, he will be Spain's first Spanish born rabbi since 1492.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex built by the Muslims in Granada, Spain.
It is filled with beautiful gardens, water fountains and Islamic architecture.
Doesn't it look like The Secret Gardens.
Thought it would look cool with ripples. Little did I know that the ripples wouldn't go away for a while, WHOOPS.
Fountains on fountains of fountains.
I want to live here thank you very much!

The Cathedral of Toledo, Spain
My favorite parts of churches and cathedrals are the extravagant ceilings. This one in particular made me giggle. Why? The fact that there's floating baby angels in a sky filled with pink clouds is not very churchy. While they're at it they might as well add unicorns, rainbows and smiles.
Welcome to the gun show.
