Well the past two weeks have been go, go, go.
It started two Saturdays ago when I set off for morocco. I took a bus to Madrid then a bus to Seville then a bus to Gibraltar a ferry to Africa then a bus into the city of fez. I honestly don't know how I survived all this traveling but somehow...
Fez. The first city we went to. It had this amazing medina (their city, containing 9,300 little streets and over 300,000 citizens...that's more than Salamanca) anyways it was the most confusing thing in the entire world I can't even imagine trying to guide myself through it without a guide. We went to a rug store a leather store a ceramic store and a gold/metal work store. They were all so amazing and I got to buy a few fun things. Oh also we went to a natural pharmacy which was the coolest thing ever. I got coal eyeliner Moroccan oil and spices and such (for mom and patsy) it was an amazingly cool place to see.
The ext day we made our eight hour bus venture into the desert. When we got there we got in 4by4 and Indian jones style drove into the desert. Most fun ride ever...sorry Disneyland. When we finally got there is was so dark so we didn't really know what was going on. Except we were sleeping in little tents and there was tons of huge black beetles everywhere. I surprisingly slept great and woke up in time to go see the beautiful sunrise. The sand was such a beautiful color and the scenery was amazing. That day we took a camel ride into a little town and then walked back. We met some great Moroccan friends and little boys that were so darling. I loved them and wished I could bring one home. The next day we set off for one last city, slept and then finally made our way back to Madrid. All in all it was probably one of the most amazing trips I'll ever go on in my life.
After that blakely and I made our way to the beautiful island of fuerteventura. Don't worry it's back down by morocco, little did I know. It was gorgeous and a much needed week. We literally sat and tanned all week. We made some Italian friends there as well who knew blakely and I by name since the guys in charge introduced us to everyone. And don't worry I was Pollyanna aka Heidi aka baaaaaaa (I still don't get the correlation) but whatever they were great.
I'm back in Salamanca now until thurs. trying to breathe, not thinking about the fact that may is in two weeks.....
