ESN Trip: Part 2: Córdoba

I refuse to say the name of the city we traveled to on Friday, March 4th, because I can't put the accent in without Blogger being weird so just refer to the title to know where I'm talking about. I will be calling it C-Town though since I probably will want to reference the city at some point.

So it was about a 2 hour drive or so from Granada to C-town and we got a couple of hours to hang out in C-town. It was a city/town/whatever you want to call it, that had a strong Arab presence in it during history. There was a mosque that we could go in, some people did but I didn't because of the 3 euro life and I was more interested in exploring C-town than the mosque. We got a nice tour of C-town from our cool ESN people, which here is a picture of our cool ESN people in cause you wanted to know how was in charge of us for our long weekend. Anyhoo so we went on a road that was nice and narrow and pretty cool that lead to a little plaza with a fountain but it was a dead end. That was where the tour ended and the fun began. One of the leaders had pointed out a place that sold 50 cent cervezas so almost everyone in our group ended up there for "lunch" and chill time. This is where we met our people, because why shouldn't we call our new friends "our people". After everyone did some drinking and chilling we split up into groups, people who wanted to see the mosque and the cool people group (obviously my group).

 So once we split into the cool people group, we just walked around aimlessly and explored C-town. I don't really know what else to say except we were great explorers who probably gave Dora the explorer a run for her money because of our awesomeness. In fact I'm pretty sure I'm calling it C-town because its where the cool people came together and created the coolest group of kids ever.
We sat outside the Mosque for awhile towards the end for some people, all the cool people except the Mildred of now 2 euros to her name, to eat ice cream and sunbath (okay I was part of the sunbathing party). We had some great inside jokes created, such as Carlos is beautiful and a liar (beautiful liar?). It was just a very relaxing day with new friends and I greatly enjoyed it. I didn't even have to pretend like I knew how to make friends, they did all the work for me.
After a couple hours in C-town, we loaded up into the bus to head to Sevilla where the ESN big huge party was going to take place. I'm assuming its their winter party but I'm not sure if its still winter or not because what are seasons. ESN has a huge party 3 times a year or something like that though and when I say huge I mean someone said 2,000 people huge. But that's for the next post, since this one was only to congratulate myself on making friends somehow, probably with magic.
