the one with morocco...

Moroccan Life…

Well I don’t want to say anything to offend any one but I didn’t really like Morocco. It was dirty, busy, and has a interesting (by that I mean bad) government system.
The mosque in Casablanca was really pretty, but built recently for tourists, so that put a damper on it for me. We did see a beautiful catholic church with gourgous stained glass windows inside. It was comforting to be back in a church.

Marrakech was much of the same. I think I would have liked it more except for the 2 hour camel ride. That was not a good idea for me or my spine. The food was great though. So was the shopping, I bought bunches of cute stuff including good shoes for recruitment and a leather purse/bag.

Oh yes, the first night in Morocco Sabre and I went on a “Sabre Crista Dinner” but we also invited Sam. We had a great time at ….. Rick’s Café! For those of you oblivious to life, Rick’s Café is one of the main settings in Casablanca the movie. This one was only built about 6 years ago by an ex-american forign service worker, but it looks very similer to the movie set that it was filmed in back in Hollywood.  We had a wonderful bottle of wine and some great food.

I don’t really have a whole lot else to say about morocco. It was just a short stopover before heading stateside.

Today I bought myself a sweatshirt in the store that I thought was on sale, it turned out not to be… o well I wanted to get one so I did, the sale was very poorly marked though.

Today is also a no class day and the shipboard auction is today. I  wanted to get the two books that Gerry Bowler wrote, he is our global studies professor and a Christmas Expert. I think they are getting to be a bit too expensive though, so I problebly will just get them on amazon.

Tomorrow we are back to the grind of classes for 4 days, until exams start. Fun fun fun.

Sorry this is not a longer more detailed entry, I am just not much in the writing mood.

See you all soon! I will be in VA on the 21st!!!!

Loves,
Cris
