It’s the Final Countdown!!!!

In 7 more days I will be on a flight from Barcelona back to the US! I only have 2 more full days on the ship and I can't believe this journey has come to an end! I thought these four months were going to be so long but they have flown by and I realized that 4 months isn't that long at all! I would do this again in a heartbeat!

I left Morocco yesterday and it was such a beautiful country. It also opened my eyes to a new world. Morocco is a country that 99% of the population is Islamic. With all that has happened recently in the US and in the past, many people look to Muslim men and women as dangerous and stereotypical terrorists. I did catch myself at times walking around and being afraid because of the stereotypes I did have. But after a while you realize that all of these people are normal and kind human beings. It is unfortunate that there are people who ruin that reputation for the rest of them but I was happy to come to this realization and understand that though the terror there is so much beauty and peace. 

I had the opportunity to visit Casablanca, Marrakech, and Fes, which are three beautiful countries. Fes being my favorite of them all because it was like taking a step back in time. In Fes we walked through the medina, which is a confined market area with so many different small alleyways, but the beauty of it was that I walked into this small door to enter a restaurant and to my surprise it was a huge building inside with about 3 levels of dining space. Fes was so mysterious and incredible to experience. If anyone ever plans to go to Morocco, Fes is a must, but if you are going to explore the Medina you definitely need a guide because you will get lost and never find your way out, no joke. My tour guide who is a local of Fes said growing up he would always get lost within the Medina and it would take him hours upon hours to find his way out.

The food in Morocco is unbelievably good! So much cous cous and it was phenomenal! They also had THE BEST TEA I have ever had. It was mint tea, which was so sweet and I like my tea black but it was perfect and I can say I had a lot of it. They also have delicious pastries during tea as well. Morocco was a country that is hard to describe my experience so I hope my pictures helpJ

See you America in 7 days!!
