It's hard to even know what to say after so long away! I want to thank everyone for all of your support and apologize that my communication has been sporadic at best. But, in only one month I will be back in the States!
So. I would LOVE to post a huge update right now, but because of my masterful procrastination skills, I do not have time to do so. I am leaving tomorrow for a nine-day trip! I am going to Berlin, Amsterdam, and Prague with my friends because we have a bunch of days off next week. So, I do not have time to fill you in on all the details of my Spanish adventures recently, or my trip to Marruecos (Morocco) but I will upload a bunch of pictures here to tide you guys over. I promise I will do my best to do a big update when I get back to Madrid on May 5th, but until then this will have to do.
 |
| The girls who came to Morocco from Madrid: Neha, Amy, Mica, and me! We were super lucky to have each other and got along great! |
 |
| Me and Amy in front of the Palace in Fes. |
 |
| The stingray in the Fes medina was happy to see us. |
 |
| Carpet co-op there were thousands and thousands of hand-made carpets. |
 |
| Leather tannery. It was huge and it smelled terrible. But all of the leather products were incredible. |
 |
| Ceramic store. I couldn't get a picture that accurately captured just how much stuff there was! |
 |
| Fes medina from the outside. They call it the Mysterious City because you can't see all the chaos that goes on in there! |
 |
| We spent nearly 60 hours on the bus throughout the week. I basically lived off of muffins and bottled water on bus days. |
 |
| Oasis in the desert. |
 |
| Our 4x4 driver (we took 4x4s into the desert) was so nice and stopped to help out some girls who got their car stuck in the desert. |
 |
| These guys ran the tent camp where we stayed in the desert. They were awesome. They spoke smatterings of 8 languages that they learned from tourists. They made our time out there absolutely wonderful. |
 |
| Endless Moroccan desert. |
 |
| The very nice Berber (indigenous) man who took us to see the sunrise was a photography genius. |
 |
| Sunrise over the desert. Breathtaking! |
 |
| Camel riding! |
 |
| Me with my camel, Henry. He was quite agreeable. |
 |
| Madrid girlies with our director, Nuria (she's in the center). |
 |
| Adorable son of one of the ladies doing the henna (also, I got awesome henna!)... Mustafa and I played peek-a-boo all afternoon. |
 |
| Another child of the henna ladies! He was a total sweetie. |
 |
| O-H-I-O in Africa! |
 |
| Our tent camp. |
As you guys can see, the trip was amazing. So when I get back from this next trip I'll do a big fat update on Morocco, my parents' visit, Kyle's visit, etc.
Can't wait to see you all soon. Lots of love =)
