Waka Waka, eh eh, esto es Africa!

So, here is the song if you dont get the title,
Waka Waka

and here is the post if you dont get why i am talking about africa!

So Last weekend (ok two weekends ago because I suck at updating posts) I went to Morocco with a group of people from my Trip. We visited the cities Tangier, Tetuan and Chefchuan, and I probably spelled all of those incorrectly.

We had to be super careful not to eat certain foods (only vegetables that were cooked all the way through, only fruits we could peel. meat had to be cooked all the way through and absolutely no water. we had to shower with our mouths closed).

The super cheap sketch trip started with a change of names. My bff Carlos became Stefanie and I became Jessica...I also changed nationalities. I am now Canadian (p.s. when I return home I will only answer to the names Jess and Flower since I have made friends with the hippies here). Proof of my nationality/name change:




This is a picture from the market of the first city, Tetuan, We went to the market which is awesome but dirty and smelled horrid but that was the fun of it. There were places that would sell you live chickens or they would kill the chickens for you right there. There was fresh goat cheese for sale and tailors everywhere.



The second city was Tangier (tan-hair in spanish) and it was slightly less dirty. We rode camels!!! there was one that was tied to a tree away from the others and it was not happy. Well, said camel broke free and they had to chase it so I named him rogue camel and within 5 minutes all the people from the trip were saying rogue camel is rogue!




Then we went off to Chefchuan, my favorite city by far. It is painted all blue and in the mountains (which we climbed btw). It was fantastic and words cannot describe how pretty it is so here are some pictures:






Well that pretty much describes my trip to Morocco...nothing crazy happened and I avoided illness! woo!

Also...arabic coke!
