Back in Morocco!! A quick update.

Salam / bonjour from Morocco. --- I got in very late last night after traveling allllllll day. (Amman-London-Casablanca-Marrakech. It was nice to be with Conn kids for the first leg, but then it was also nice to be alone for the rest. I was very nervous about my luggage from London to Morocco, but in Amman they put a tag on it sending it all the way through. I had to pay extra money for one of them because apparently London-Morocco is not technically "overseas" and we are only allowed to have one bag... I definitely could have planned this leg of my journey better, but it's okay. I'm here safe & sound! I got a ham, prosciutto and sundried tomato croissant in tHe airport. They heated it up for me and it was SO good. I also got a prosciutto, moz, tomato, and basil sandwich that I ate throughout the night, and some chocolate, trail mix, and an iced tea. I had to use the extra pounds that I took out to pay for my bag......... --- I had a nice mini vacation in Heathrow, and being there DEFINITELY made me decide that i need to return to London and leave the airport- maybe next summer. The flight from London to Morocco was terrible and I was given a middle seat! How rude. I obviously changed for an aisle, but my seat didn't go back? Very uncomfortable and I couldn't really sleep like I was planning to. The flight from Casa to Marrakesh was veryyyy creaky. I think it was a plane from the 1980s, or earlier. --- Once I arrived in Marrakech I went through customs, and my bags were literally RIGHT THERE as I got to the baggage claim. Magical. Then I went outside, got cash and my ride was there with a little sign with my name on it! We went to the car and rode to Aniko's. (I finished my prosciutto sandwich in the car-haram....). Aniko greeted me with open arms... She had some friends over / people who are going to do the mountain clean-up (2 Swiss, 2 French, one French woman, and one Algerian man). They were eating pesto and chilli pasta. It was delicious, but the definitely spiciest thing I've had in a while..... After dinner, Aniko showed me my bed and I passssed out (obviously).--- I didn't wake up as early as I was expecting to (there's only a 2 hour time difference between Morocco and Jordan...) but I showered (grrrrreat shower) as soon as I woke up. I also finally put away the shirt that I feel like I've been wearing for the past week (I feel this way because I HAVE been wearing it for the past week...) and kind of re-organized my bag. I found two explosions- some sunscreen, AND the two saucer peaches that, for some reason, I felt the need to put in my checked bag and bring all the way from Jordan.....??????? --- Everyone resurfaced for Moroccan breakfast. I missed tea and baguette and crepes and hard boiled eggs and Moroccan JELLY ahhhhhhh so good.. My plan for today- food shop & register my NEW sim card that Aniko gave me (RIP small change purse....). We are heading up to the mountain at 5 pm Morocco time (noon in NY). I also will post about my last days in Jordan tomorrow in sha Allah...
