Hamman Awkwardness
MOROCCO | Wednesday, 18 June 2008 | Views [534]
Today we did a lot. I guess i should not get held up on just one thing but the bath house was probably weirdest moment of my life. the bath itself was amazing. If girls in america discovered it they would become addicted. it leaves your skin feeling amazing throw in the hour massage and it is almost to much to handle. the part that made life awkward was the clothing they make you wear it is essentially a minimalists speedo. if that was not bad enough you have really cute moroccan girls bathe you and what is worse they speak no english. It was an expierience i will never forget. once i got past the awkwardness a little i was finally able to relax and enjoy the expierience. After that it was a massage for an hour and i must say i felt amazing. We did so much other stuff like go to an oasis in the mountains called paradise valley. you drive for miles and all there is is high mountain desert till you turn a corner a hairpin turn at a pass and bam there is palm trees everywhere. we played in a pool and climbed to waterfalls. Tanya and lincoln had there first tasted of bartering and falied miserably. it was a learning expierience. there is a strategy and ritual that is unique. No matter what you want to buy you hava to bargain its a matter of who gives in first. I think it is good i am stubborn. i hope to do better than the others. For now i am sleepy from all this food and the bath house. tomorrow we are going north outside of the bay to find some waves. For now i must relax with some mint tea and watch another perfect sunset from the terrace.
