... want to paint picture of her as holistic fitness freak - rather think woman seekong alternative to glucosamine for ageing joints) I actually gave a little 'yee' when phone buzzed with message. Starting to wonder when I will develop imaginary friend (in past have only had imaginary friend because everyone elsa had, and wondered what fuss was about about it disappeared by time i got to school).I would have said 'wonder when i'll start talking to myself' but can't remember a time when i didn't.

... fresh baked bread. We had a good time here. It was unbelievably beautiful. With huge snow clad peaks, we spent hours sitting around surveying. We were happily informed that the Kasbah Hotel, which had the most luxurious accommodations (and view) in town, was a sister hotel to Dar Imlil and that we were welcome to go there, explore the place and enjoy hammam/steambath. Bliss! Imlil proved to be a beautiful mountain town filled with lovely, if not ...

... da Zara com sola mega gasta. A paisagem, gostaria de ter paciência e vocabulario para a resumir, mas não tenho essa capacidade saramaguista, espero que as imagens falem pelas palavras que nunca vos direi eheh. Dormimos na montanha, dei uso as minhas calças, casaco e cachecol e mesmo assim rapei frio. A tenda abanava por todos os lados, pensei que fosse voar. Acabei por não subir ao pico com os outros. Dormi mal e não ...

... the van. In winter these roads can become impassable. Setting off down the other side of the Tizi n' Tichka we drove through the High Atlas Mountains , stopping several times along the way to take photos of the view. We stopped in a small town along the way where we were all still thawing out and had a bit of hot lunch - most of us ordering Berber omelette's and hot chips. We continued driving and took the turnoff to Imlil - its ...

... plus years old. They were all amazing. He then called in a young boy who took over unfolding rugs. It got to the point I felt obligated to buy something. As the young boy unfolded, Mustafa told us that he had two brothers in the States. One in Boston and one in Florida. He was waiting on his visa then he was going to visit. All I could think was what a shock he was in store for, coming from here to ...

... acrobatics, and people eating lamb's head all at the same place in the OC. After Stacy had her two front teeth pulled we decided to have dinner at Le Marrakechi in which we had great tangine (meat or veggies prepared in earthenware pots in an underground oven. Delicious! After dinner, got lost trying to find our way back to the hotel. Check out the medina video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auGJdxHL Qpc

... He scores! Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! It was late in the day and the rays of the sun were sliding behind the peaks as we headed down to the Berber village of Matat. We were greeted by our host at his gite, this one was built of concrete block and covered with a cement finish. He pointed us to the room we would share, an elegant chamber with plush carpets and a long upholstered style bench. Another tangine supper followed and this one too was different ...

... as well. Then Zachary said we should watch a comedian story teller so we went over to a man who seemed like he was already packing up. There was no one around him but the comedian pulled out some cardboard boxes for us to sit on and began playing his instrument. More Berber music. He would play for a moment then stop talk directly at me. People started gathering around. It was almost like he was prepping the crowd while more people showed up, then the show began ...

... you hear a man on the loud speaker saying "Allah Akbar" and reciting the Islamic prayer over and over with other PA systems in the background echoeing the same, it really creates a mysterious but uncomfortable feeling. I thought they did it at 5:30 in the morning so I definitely wasn't expecting it that aerly. I recorded the prayer to my camera so I can play it back when I get home.

... touts in Fes, who earn money by "guiding" tourists around the labyrinthal medina and getting commission from bringing people into stores, are especially persistent. No one mentioned that they were also criminally insane. We walked from the new town to the medina entrance, and were approached by a man who introduced himself as "Mohammed Couscous". I put my left hand up to indicate that he was much much too close, since another few inches and he would actually be sitting in my pocket ...
