MOROCCO


Morocco was amazing and definitely the highlight of my time abroad so far. We first took a day to get to morocco by bus, and then went to Fez and walked around the medina (market). It was shocking to see animals and meat right on the street, along with way too many donkeys walking through the narrow alleys. I personally hated being this close to donkeys and got scared everytime.

The next day we left for the desert, this cost us another day on the bus but was so exciting when we finally go to the desert. We stayed in heimas (tents) and the sky was amazing. You could see the milky way, and a shooting star every 2 minutes. We didnt do much that night besides stare at the sky and eat dinner, but we got up early the next day to watch the sunrise.


After watching the amazing sunrise, we had breakfast and got ready for our camel rides! As cool as they look the camels were quite uncomfortable to sit on, but still a great experience. We rode the camels to a "typical town" where we got to hand out candy and extra clothes to children. This was my favorite day of the trip because we had so many awesome experiences, the next day we started heading back to Spain stopping by Meknes on the way.
