    La granadina It's the spring semester of my junior year, so I am celebrating with un gran viaje filled with classes (unfortunately) and crazy foreign fun.

    Photos from Morocco

    There are [47] photos from Morocco

    One of the shops in Plaza Mayor. Views[285] We were up so early the markets weren't even open yet! Views[317] Lovely Chefchaouen looks like dreaming. Views[293] Blue, blue, blue. Views[290] More prettiness. Views[308]
     
    Moroccan laundry. Views[245] My name in Arabic. Read it right to left, if you actually know how to read Arabic. Views[244] The Chaouen from above. Views[252] My henna. I had to sleep with a plastic bag around my arm to let the dye dry, which was awkward. Views[286] Plaza Mayor in Chefchaouen. They speak Spanish here instead of French--such a relief! Views[285]
     
    Me and Annie in Rabat. Views[243] Rafik and me on the jetty. Views[278] Double dating in Rabat. Annie, Rafik, me, and Badr. Views[269] Hanging with the homestay sisters in old Rabat. Annie, me, Colleen, Nehimah, and Sabah. Views[248] Finally! The little nameless mountain village. Views[260]
     
    Cutest grandpa ever, but Moroccan country folk don’t like to have their picture taken. So here’s Sasha on the donkey! Views[308] Me and Sean. Views[212] Tractor ride! John, Colleen, and Annie. Views[276] Kinda hard to mind walking when this is where you are. Views[272] The little van that could not. Oh, well. The Rif Mountains aren't that high, are they? Views[269]
     
    This is when I realized my exposure time was set low. Sad day that it took me so long to notice! Last day at the homestay with Sabah (my sister) and my homestay mom. Views[297] That time the three-hour ride turned into six. Views[229] Rafik and me at the medina market. Not sure what Annie's doing... Views[231] The Me. Views[248]
     
    Meanwhile, back in the day, another king was having the biggest mosque in the world built, but he died, and it didn't happen. All they got done were the pillars and the big tower, which is apparently an unfinished replica of one in Seville, Spain. Views[280] Non-Muslims aren't allowed in mosques, but this one's quite pretty on the outside. The king had it built, I believe. Views[241] So that's where babies come from! There was a huge number of storks at Chellah, but I guess it makes sense that they'd chill by the fertility pool in their free time, right? Views[270] Cats, chickens, and Moroccan woman, all hanging out at the eel fertility pool. Obviously. Throw eggs to the eels and you'll have many children! Views[413] Climbing around the ruins, I found a pretty view! Random Moroccan countryside, as seen from Chellah. Views[432]
     
    Does bamboo grow in Morocco?? The slightly overgrown gardens of the ruins at Chellah. Views[2241] Definitely Muslim. Points for me! Views[280] Large Roman rolling pins? Views[207] I kept getting mixed up which was Roman rubble and which was Muslim, but this has got to be at least one of the two! Views[296] Signs in French and Arabic at Chellah because Morocco is a crazily multi-lingual country. And pretty much everyone in Rabat speaks these two languages, minimum. Views[229]
     
    A dancing man at Chellah (in Rabat), where there are Roman ruins with bits of mosque on top. Views[263] You can never be too far from the US of A. Views[240] The rocky, Atlantic coast. Views[236] Asilah, the beautiful seaside city of white, blues, and greens. Views[277] Asilah man painting, and the gorgeous view beyond. Views[255]
     
    Every year they whitewash the walls of Asilah and artists come from all around to paint them. Views[226] Hanging with the camels. Views[235] Action shot: the dismount. But not as scary as it looks! Views[228] Riding around on our camels, which are actually pretty comfortable! Views[235] Layla and me. Layla means
     
    Cuddle time. Views[264] Camels! Our camel farmers spoke 4-6 languages each (!!), but the camels didn't speak any. Views[311]
