wow.

that's the most profound observation I can make so far for my few short hours in Marrakech. Yes, we made it safely, though rather tired. This is the craziest thing I have ever done. We are having a blast trying to find our way around. We are leaving bright and early in the morning for our tour in the desert so we don't get to see too much of the city yet. The market is insane!!!! Had the best orange juice I have ever tasted and bought some flowy pants to wear while I ride the camel. Our hostel is beautiful but impossible to find. Everyone wants our money-- and we don't have much of it! it's hot and getting hotter. Saw a monkey.
have to go repack.
Can't wait to share with you all!!

Hasta la proxima

I am exhausted. Said goodbye to Spain and all of my newfound friends and said hello to Paris and my long lost boyfriend. It is really good to see Nish. Had a bit of an exhausting journey here (didn't get any sleep last night) but I am looking forward to seeing Kelly and exploring France a little bit. Although I must admit, I am currently a little bitter at France because they speak French. I miss Spanish(and Spain) already. :) I'm sure it will be wonderful. I'll try to keep you posted, but I'll be home before I know it and I think I'll have to catch up on photos from there.
Hope all is well!

What I can't say with words...

These are pictures from our road trip to Asturias. That was weeks ago! I have so much to catch up on. But these should hold you over...

Tan rápido

Wow, it has been a long time since I have written! Time is flying by. I absolutely loved Asturias and before today I would say it was my favorite part of Spain, hands down. But today, Granada offered a pretty good challenge. I still like Asturias better, but I had a great time today. The internet cafe I am in is closing so I can´t tell you of all of my wonderful adventures but I am alive and well and having a wonderful time. I am looking forward to seeing Nish and Kelly next week! I was sick last weekend and didn´t get to go to Barcelona but it gave me the chance to rest. I will write soon! Hope this letter finds you well.

Me voy

I am leaving in the morning to go to a small town in the region of Asturias which is in the north of Spain. My professor (from CSUF) is taking us to her house there (she is originally from Spain) and we will see all kinds of sights along the way. It should be fun but I must say I am not thoroughly looking forward to so many hours in a van with 9 people! I will be back to Salamanca for only one night and then we are headed south a bit to the region of Extremadura. I will be back to Salamanca on the 8th but I am leaving on the 9th for Barcelona with a friend (Adriana). I think I get back from Barcelona on the 13th? It's a Sunday. You may not hear from me until then. I think the rest of the trip will fly by now because I'll be doing so much traveling!

Hope all is well!
