First off, Happy Easter! (Romans 6:8-11) and second off, I failed on the second day of this blogging thing. HA! Sorry for anyone actually hoping to get updates on my life in real time while in Europe! But I'll continue with my fun facts since, well, they're fun. I'll even give two since I missed a day.
1. The town's name is used in the spanish figure of speech for "to go off on a tangent" which is "andar por los cerros de Ubeda" or literally translating to "to walk around the hills of Ubeda" ... if these hills are epic enough for a common phrase I can't even imagine the exercise I'm going to get while I'm there.
2. Ubeda is apparently known for it's pottery, Renaissance/16th century (are those the same thing??) architecture and it overlooks the olive groves of Guadalquivir valley. Here's a video of some scenery.
