Sorry this is all I have time to post right now, but here are the random thoughts/memories I jotted down after these trips:
- Volubilis: Roman ruins
-Ifrane/Azrou: A lot of hiking, beautiful view from the top, SNOW!!!
-Fes: Crazy medina, cool pottery places, saw them making mosaics and other ceramic items, leather dying place that smelled horrible but provided fresh mint to smell instead
-Casablanca: Hassan II Mosque was beautiful, got separated from the group with about 5 other students so we just wandered until we found them, later we accidentally (but happily) found ourselves in a gay club, pouring rain in the medina and running from store to store, finding a replacement for my green linen pants that I love but are dying, the successful hunt for Mexican food!
-Rabat: Tour was cool, gloomy weather, lunch at Upstairs, an Irish pub
-Beni Mellal conference on Border Crossing: Good smell, waterfall, Moroccan public speaking = reading the paper, controversy is over existence of problems not the actual stance on the problem
-Asilah: beautiful, art in medina, paradise beach and the forever-long hike to get there, baby kitty Asilah, missed our stop on the way there, almost left Hamid behind, almost changed trains when we didn’t need to, watching the sunset outside by myself, tajines in the house, shopping with the girls (pants, earrings, necklace), woke up early to walk around with M and take pics in the medina, bought breakfast, pancake with chocolate and cookies, lots of Spanish, invite to tea by the guy from Valencia who works in Asilah because it’s easier to find work there than in Spain, annoying teenager following me and M saying/begging “Please! Please! Please!”
