MOROCCO

so i guess this is my final blog. I would like to say thank you to everyone for making this semester awesome! thank you professor mills for educating me. thank you fellow student for being my friends.

...sniff sniff...

well im over it. right now im sitting in an interior garden of a Riad with a pool in the center and orange trees growing around it. Our room is upstairs with a patio looking into the garden and a roof terrace, where we get breakfast and tea. We also had free lunch here today. couscous and tajeb. it was delicious. I love morocco. I even like their system of goverment the King sounds like an awesome guy, everyone loves him. The people are incredibly nice but they will take your money in a heartbeat. Everyone is very willing to help you get whatever you need...but it doesn't come free. I had to pay to take a picture with a monkey (worth every durham) There are orange trees and roses everywhere! oranges are falling in the garden courtyard im sitting in right now. We saw a lot of old palaces and gardens today. More of that tomorrow. Most of them though have already been stripped of all their glory and are merely ruins. Still exciting though, i feel like indiana jones running around underneath an old palace. The food has all been delicious (we'll see what i think about it later...if you know what i mean) All the other tourists are french, and everyone here assumes you are french, but they usually speak spanish as well. They will address you in french, then spanish, then english...if you continue to ignore them. For the most part i tell people i am spanish. im not sure why. its not that they don't like americans...they do. It is just a whole lot easier to communicate in spanish than english, and i like being able to convince people that i am from spain (something i haven't been able to do in Barcelona)

Well...that's all folks.

I guess i will see most of you back in Clemson

O yea...the architecture here is really....good...and old...and there are arches and stuff.
