McDonalds in Morocco! Just about the only restaurant open during Ramadan...
Siesta time. We really do a lot of this. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. It's emotionally exhausting and we need our beauty sleep! Someone rings a little bell when we're "summoned", and we've all been trained to sleep through every sound but the one that welcomes us to afternoon tea ;)
Clean underwear day!!!! We send our laundry out to be clean for a very cheap price. Clean underwear is worth it!
Khadija does henna
Lindsay's way cool henna (Pete not photographed)
So, back up to siesta time. Picture lying in a deep sleep upstairs only to be awoken by... Well, a noise as loud as a herd of elephants. Yeah. That pretty much sums it up.
Boy was it fun!!
Kudos to these guys; they're all fasting for Ramadan and still managed to put on a hell of a show!
I was going to head to the Roman ruins tomorrow but my travel buddy has come down with a bad headache. My other travel buddy and I will probably hit the medina here in Rabat and just chill. Everyone else from our group is headed home tomorrow and 16 new girls are coming in! Despite having more downtime than at home, I am completely and utterly exhausted both emotionally and physically, and am excited for some extra sleep.
Roman ruins on Sunday, health permitting :)
oh the beauty of clean clothes. when i went abroad to zacatecas (a state in mexico), laurel and i found this laundry place where we'd drop our clothes off in one giant bag and then pick it up in a few days. upon picking them up they would be folded and pressed and then placed in this bag and then vacuum sealed. it was awesome. if only it was like this at home....
ReplyDeleteoh and if you didn't figure it out, i posted the clothes comment. me. megan. your crazy friend. the one with cora. silly goose.
ReplyDeleteoh you crazy chicken you... I didn't know who it was but the Laurel mention and some expertise as Nancy Drew led me to you. You talk just like you write, hence my ponder, WWMW? (What Would Megan Write?)
