New Happenins

Well..the beer trials kind of faded....study week kind of killed the rhythm we were in and it's hard to get back into now that we are pinching pennies...so there's another thing we have failed at. But we are always creating new things to keep ourselves entertained.

I went to Marrekech, Morocco last weekend and it was incredible...completely different but completely awesome. It was almost like I wasn't in Africa because everything was green, and I was in a Muslim country so it seemed more Middle Eastern really..which was fine with me...even more cultural exposure. We flew up early Friday morning and met up with a guy that some girls recommended we contact and he took us out to the Atlas Mountains where we hiked around and saw some water falls and ate lunch by a river. Pretty cool dude...smooth talker but he seemed pretty genuine.

Our hostel was awesome...we stayed in a 13 bed room and met some awesome people from Greece, Italy, and Argentina. It had a rooftop terrace that you could see basically the whole city from so we spent alot of time up there just relaxing and talking to people. It was about 85 degrees and sunny as hell so my paleness fried rather quickly...always good to get the first one over with early because its inevitable.

Saturday we walked around the city and there wasn't a whole lot to see...very non photographic town unless you are taking pictures of people. As we were walking through the Medina, some dudes under an umbrella suddenly jumped up and came over and shook our hand so we played along and when we got back to their umbrella, they flipped over a thing that had a damn Cobra under it. Needless to say it was a pissed off and stuff...so the dudes tossed some snakes around our necks and took our cameras to take pictures of all this. So now we have some randos with our cameras, snakes around our necks and a PMSing cobra (Ladies, I'm not suggesting that you are like some ruthless snake...just ruthless in general sometimes) whipping around on us. So, after we changed our pants....

It was a great weekend overall...everyone was extremely nice..even if they were trying to con you for money or sell you weed. I would definitely like to go back for about 10 days so I would have time to make it out to the Sahara and the Atlantic Coast.
