MOROCCO

So i went to Morocco this past weekend. We visited 3 different cities. They were all very different....


I woke up at 6 am to catch the bus. The way getting there takes a while. First it was a bus ride, then a ferry ride, then customs, then another bus ride. As soon as we got there we immediately left for the city. We went to some music concert. I sat down and was feeling a bit tired...and then I was handed an outline of what I was about to learn...and felt myself grow a bit more tired...and then i heard the bongo and knew that was it for me. The presentation was an hour and I think i was napping in and out for 45 of it. Opps. I asked why no one nudged me and they were like it was funny watching you! ha I have some good friends here. Then we roamed the city for a good 15 minutes...and then I felt uncomfortable and went and sat on a wall...where i was basically a skeptical for all the men drinking at the bar across the street. THAT was a good time. Then we had to go to am intercambio thing at the school in morocco. .
We got back around 10 and I was out like a light.

saturday i was up at 8, ate some breakfast which i kid you not consisted of 7 different kinds of breads. I cannot wait to have some scrambled eggs, hold the toast.
We went into the market square. Its literally just this maze of streets that people sell all their goods on. But in a way it made most of us sick to stomachs. Eggs and cheese just sitting out wtih flys on it. Live chickens, then dead chickens sitting next to them. Talk about fresh. Ha and then outside of the market these guys would be selling random things. Obviously all stolen. but it was like....ohhh that sucks for whoever lost that. So being me I´m trying to understand this tour guide but not really understanding what he´s talking about. and then we walk into this animal stall and I´m like awww look and then we leave there and walk into this other place with all these pits and I´m like whats this? then i look down into the pits and see a bunch of skins. Yeah it was the place they make leather. It was pretty gruesome.
After that we had lunch. and theeeen went to another town. it was pretty and on the ocean. we were able to haggle for some items here and there. We were home by 10 ate dinner and then I was out again by 11. On sunday we woke up, ate breakfast and went to one more town. This one was up in the mountains. It was quaint. All the buildings were painted white, purple, or blue. They engineered the mountain water to run straight through the city. It was all just a natural way of life. After this we traveled 6 hours to get home. It was a good trip, veryyyy interesting. It made me appreciate my way of life. And never want to buy leather. but Ill eat chicken bc I cant wait for a wendys #6.


I posted pictures on my facebook. So go look at them all there. I had about 90!
