The Amazing Race - Córdoba
Dancing in front of Paseo del Buon Pastor; entrance to the Córdoba Cabildo, aka Town Hall.
Our first full Sunday in Cordoba featured a team scavenger hunt called The Amazing Race. Almost everyone was hungover (not me) and exhausted (me) from the excursion to Villa Carlos Paz the day before, and dancing at el nightclub til 5am anoche (me). I just wanted a full day off to relax, but #fomo is a real thing and #thestruggleisreal.
I put on my big boy pants, cuz I’m 38. My teammates: Patrick (LA), Jacek (Austria), Liz (England) & Kirsten (Canada). We came in dead last, but we definitely had the most fun! We got ice cream, rode ponies, played with a box of puppies, saw a children’s clown show, etc. Btw, none of those things were on the list.
Here are some highlights:
Posing like a boy band in front of the Iglesia Catedral de Córdoba.
Sliding down the cement at the Córdoba Cultural Center!
Praying inside the Capuchin Church.
The Pony Posse; our last stop La Rueda de Eiffel; and me praying inside Capuchin Church.
Stumbled on to a bizarro children's clown show. More on this in a future post...
Can't resist a box full of puppies!
The event was from 4-7pm. We came in around 7:15. When we got to the finish line at the park, we pretended to run in all exhausted-like. I think they believed us...not really.
But, the journey IS the destination.
Enjoy the ride! Stop and smell the roses. And, stop and pet the puppies.
