Spain 2013, Cordoba - Fun and Despair (10.4.13)

Yousuf and Zainab had fun running around between the countless  pillars of the mosque. Abdullah joined in by giving his brother a piggy back.

For Hamida and I, and to some extent Abdullah too, there was a sense of loss both of the mosque to a cathedral and architectural.

There are countless mosques in Spain that have been converted to churches but none is as symbolic as the Grand Mosque of Cordoba. Hamida couldn't hold back her tears.

We can only pray...
