Les gazelles!!

So Morocco was pretty awesome. It was great to be in a new, yet confusing place. We spent 3 day in Marrakesh and the rest in Essaouira (the famous site from Othello). Katie and I stayed in awesome riads, got plenty of sun, ate plenty of very great coucous, tajines and orange juice and met some really cool people. We also got heckled a lot, being two clearly non-Moroccan girls in a foreign country (apparently it happens to Moroccan girls who dress like Westerners as well). It was a god-sent that we spoke French and it really made it easier to negotiate prices and make friends.

I need to post more but things are a little crazy with the arrival of Maresa and her friend Snook at 6 am yesterday morning combined with lots of work!!! Until I can tell some of the stories, here are 3 videos from our adventures.

My friend, Katie is in most of the videos (she was awesome to travel with) and we met a really cool French couple that we spent a lot of time with and who are in the 3rd video. So, voila!! I hope you all enjoy. More updates later!!!

Ciao,
