So the last time I posted was in July. Yikes. Here's a quick summary for you all....I went to Pittsburg/DC on a friend road trip (yippee), worked, packed, moved and started the craziest semester of my life. So although I could have been making time to blog I just haven't, I'm just lazy and lame like that sometimes. So here's the scoop, for now this isn't a good place for me in the big scheme of things. Classes are tough (Anatomy/Physiology, Phonetics, Communication Theories and lots of Feminist Theory) and I decided working would be a good idea too. Needless to say I'm swamped. I may soon find the need to come back here and share life but for now....I will miss you all! And now to bed!</div>

After Spain and more specifically Morocco, my stomach and digestive system has been a hot mess. Not to share too much info but things were not so normal with my stomach and some other bodily functions...ick! So after listening to my body and realizing it was worst after eating wheat/gluten...I went gluten free. As of today (july 8) I have been GF for 2 weeks! Whoop! But I think it has made a difference. I have been very conscious of food labels which is not only very interesting but also very educational. Who the heck knows what chilton or nishasta is? I still don't. Haha!<br />

Going GF has not been as bad as I thought it might be. I have found there to be a huge selection of GF foods. Generally, I've been eating more fruits, veggies and meats (which I should be doing anyways) but I still love my carbs. So I was recommended Udi's GF bread and various other products (names I cannot think of). But my favorite is a local co-op makes homemade lemon GF cookies. So delicious!<br />
I am also not completely GF so I do not worry about cross contamination like people with celiac and other intense GF issues. I have allowed some gluten products but I feel ick afterward. So for now I am working on being GF. If anyone has recipes or tips send them here.<br />

So I have been kinda bad at this blogging thing...but here is a cute, easy and fun diy project!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g1BWCiGX5DI/Udi2_3X48uI/AAAAAAAAI84/8V7QeHCYYk0/s1600/IMG_4807.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-g1BWCiGX5DI/Udi2_3X48uI/AAAAAAAAI84/8V7QeHCYYk0/s640/IMG_4807.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
materials: fabric scraps, thread, needle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wo6WC3-QzeU/Udi2YEJ_4bI/AAAAAAAAI7g/xOjbU0B2wdQ/s1600/IMG_4786.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wo6WC3-QzeU/Udi2YEJ_4bI/AAAAAAAAI7g/xOjbU0B2wdQ/s640/IMG_4786.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 1: lay out fabric square (mine was 6 by 3 inches ish)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_juN0l2o7g/Udi2ZiEd3xI/AAAAAAAAI7w/_SWbL3B6b9I/s1600/IMG_4787.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G_juN0l2o7g/Udi2ZiEd3xI/AAAAAAAAI7w/_SWbL3B6b9I/s640/IMG_4787.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 2: fold so long ends overlap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j4eRONK-vE4/Udi2iLW_ypI/AAAAAAAAI74/W7KksxhJ3m8/s1600/IMG_4788.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j4eRONK-vE4/Udi2iLW_ypI/AAAAAAAAI74/W7KksxhJ3m8/s640/IMG_4788.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 3: fold so short ends overlap </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51c-yPV1xbI/Udi2pd_A-3I/AAAAAAAAI8I/l8YwKBCIBn4/s1600/IMG_4790.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51c-yPV1xbI/Udi2pd_A-3I/AAAAAAAAI8I/l8YwKBCIBn4/s640/IMG_4790.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 4: sew all folds together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n6TAdp-dXF0/Udi20q_XTcI/AAAAAAAAI8Y/Sr9YZhJGkx4/s1600/IMG_4792.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n6TAdp-dXF0/Udi20q_XTcI/AAAAAAAAI8Y/Sr9YZhJGkx4/s640/IMG_4792.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 5: pinch so to make a bow shape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gckIQAyuAG8/Udi2_0fwtCI/AAAAAAAAI9A/eY5xWTtDVjE/s1600/IMG_4796.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gckIQAyuAG8/Udi2_0fwtCI/AAAAAAAAI9A/eY5xWTtDVjE/s640/IMG_4796.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 6: sew through all these layers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(after secured, I snipped the first threaded holding it together, but this is optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9xvwyn_kowY/Udi2849es7I/AAAAAAAAI8o/g6zJmfZ8TEQ/s1600/IMG_4795.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9xvwyn_kowY/Udi2849es7I/AAAAAAAAI8o/g6zJmfZ8TEQ/s640/IMG_4795.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 7: hooray! you made bows! secure with cute fabric or yarn in the middle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A3qeqYQaVso/Udi2Jy6t9sI/AAAAAAAAI7Q/IZIv9yNomv8/s1600/IMG_4814.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A3qeqYQaVso/Udi2Jy6t9sI/AAAAAAAAI7Q/IZIv9yNomv8/s640/IMG_4814.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 8: hot glue to bobby pin or clip for your hair (like the first pic above)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step 9: make friends jealous with your mad skills! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">

Two super exciting anniversaries happened this past month! The first was my little blog space here is 1 years old. Its exciting to see where I've been and where I'm going...I love it! The second is the 3 year anniversary of Riley and I. Its crazy to think I've had this boy in my life for that long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With both things (the blog and the boy) its been such an amazing ride! I hope for so many more adventures:) Hooray!</div>

<br />
Now that chem has been conquered! I feel as though colors are brighter, the sun shines more and the creative juices are flowing! Hooray! So Riley and I decided to take advantage of the sunshine and adventure into the wilderness on our bikes. Even though we were only away from home for a half hour, it was a nice adventure. We have both decided that it is necessary for us to get out more and enjoy our too short MN summers. So here's to no chem and more adventures!<br />

So I am surviving chemistry but barely. I am in the home stretch people! Woohoo! However, its been generally stressful. I started my job on Monday (hooray....money and best and most fun kids) but doing that plus chem has taken a toll on me. Literally I am a mess; I've developed what I believe to be TMJ from clenching my teeth and I'm just gosh darn tired. But I guess after living the good life in spain for 3 months and then hanging out for the last 2...I deserve it! So after spending the last few weeks getting as much chem done as possible and then starting to work, it was time for Riley and I to go on a date. We went to our favorite little town close by and walked around the farmers market, cute shops, ate tacos at a cool newish restaurant and saw <a href="http://kopeckyfamilyband.com/splash/krk/">Kopecky family band</a> at a radio event. It was a super fun adventure! </div>

Riley was a great photographer and I hope he's ready to get more jobs from me and this blog. Also, as we were about to leave he asked, "does Riley need photos of himself". It was basically the cutest so I had to take some of him. It was super happy so along with my outfit you got a Riley outfit too (which is great because I'm pretty sure he has better style then me sometimes).</div>

Hello again friends! I have a semi-legit outfit post! Hooray!<br />

I kept this outfit simple jewelry-wise because the blouse has lots of small animals. I love this dress but because its so short on me I have to wear leggings or tights with it. This is just a great date outfit! </div>

Saturday the boyfriend and I went on an adventure with Bear (aka dog in photo one) but before we went I stared at my closet hating everything. At this point it was already 4pm (I was still in pjs...) and I was running late..so after trying on everything in my closet. I threw on my tried and true grey stripped T from gap, a sweater and was done. I struggle but its not completely my fault...this weather is cray. Friday it was mid 70s and then saturday maybe mid 50s, plus we were by a lake and it was windy. One can only hope the weather will start to be more summer like on a consistent schedule....but until then I will struggle to dress myself.</div>

Woohoo a DIY! Even though spring is hopefully around the corner I decided to place a pom pom on top of a simple hat I've had forever!</div>

Supplies: yarn, hat, scissors, hand</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) Wrap yarn about a trillion times around three fingers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) Once to desired thickness, tie another piece of yarn around the other direction to secure yarn together. Slide off fingers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3) Cut loops of wrapped yarn to create pompom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4) Sew to hat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5) Wear while blogging and realize how much you miss doing DIY posts!</div>

1) I was named after my mama's favorite babysitter, which I now find ironic because I like to think of myself as a pretty good babysitter.<br />
<br />
2) My hair can't decide if its straight, wavy or curly...literally changes on a daily basis. Though it is kind of nice because when I do style it, it can hold curls, be straight or whatever! So thats nice!<br />
<br />
3) I use to only drink tea but now I am addicted to coffee....but with a little less than half steamed milk and a packet of sugar. I am in love with coffee!!!!<br />
<br />
4) I pee probably around 200 times a day..no joke! And when I'm nervous I have to pee even more. It became even worse when I went to Morocco because I never knew where the next acceptable bathroom would be.<br />
<br />
5) My handwriting is worse then most boys. I get annoyed with writing things by hand because my hand doesn't move as fast as my brain..but typing I'm a pro! However, I love the look of nive handwriting.Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05373818134266439389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1534993277033264567.post-49743230563031620902013-04-23T12:45:00.003-05:002013-04-23T12:45:50.903-05:00Bike tour and history lesson of Rome<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just pretend I've been blogging like normal for the last month basically. I honestly think I was just overwhelmed by the idea of narrowing the pics I have for this post (literally had over 100 photos) and adjusting to life back in the good ole U.S.A. So finally here it is....the bike tour of Rome (from almost 2 months ago). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start off our adventure we (<a href="http://hannahtravelstospain.tumblr.com/">Hannah</a> and I) were running late as per usual with this Roman adventure. We met our guide (who Hannah describes perfectly as Mario...no joke) and his Brompton bikes...which are foldable, lightweight and very expensive bikes. They are so perfect for city living and fun to ride! Our Mario friend (cannot remember his real name for the life of me) was a great guide of Rome! </div>

First stop was to the Colosseum! It only took 4 years to build which is so impressive considering the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona has been under construction since 1882 and is expected to take another 20 years. The location of the Colosseum use to be a private garden for the king. The colosseum is 50 meters high and there used to be a pure gold statue of Nero that stood 30 meters high..but was melted down for other things. </div>

Roman forum was an area for commerce and entertainment. It was open to all the people in the public, (there was a second forum that was closed to the public). The tower you see below is 43 meters tall...it was build because there use to be a hill that was 43 meters high but to construct the forum they cut it down and build this tower instead. The tower contains 17 wheels of marble that have carvings of important events in the history of Rome. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Victoriano is a beautiful building but hated by the Romans because it reminds them of the times of Mussolini and Fascism. So they have several nicknames for it...birthday cake and typewriter are the most common. Also, there are always two fires lite and two guards standing by them in the front of it..why? I don't remember.</span></span></div>

Trevi Fountain, my favorite of Rome, took ten years to build. It is named Trevi because tre means three and there are three main roads that lead to the fountain. An interesting fact our guide told us is that during high season 3,000 euros are thrown into the fountain in one day. All this money is donated to the Red Cross. </div>

Spanish Steps is called this because they are located near the Spanish Embassy. A long time ago, the area was for only Spanish citizens, however, this made the french mad because they had a church at the top of the steps that was difficult to reach. So after some bickering the area was opened to all people. At the bottom of the steps is a fountain shaped as a boat to remember a flood that stranded a boat in this area. </div>

Pantheon was so cool! The ceiling is made of lava rocks because they are light and won't collapse the ceiling because there are no supporting beams. The hole on top is 9 meters wide. Every sunday there is mass in the Pantheon! Riley (the boyfriend) said they use to have tours to go on top of it but now they don't...which is probably smart!</div>

We had a blast biking around Rome! So very fun! I highly recommend biking around big cities like that because you see everything and you avoid major blisters!</div>

Sorry for being way MIA again but I've been re-adjusting to life in the good ole U.S.A. I arrived back in Minnesota March 31 and since then I've been crazy seeing all my dear friends. Monday I visited Riley, Tuesday went my sister's soccer game, Wednesday knitted all day with a good friend from high school and then I drove down to college to visit friends, Thursday through Saturday I went to visit the boy again and see friends in the city and now its Sunday we spent time with extended family! So needless to say its been crazy. Tomorrow I'm hoping to start a more normal schedule with blogging and life. So now that you know whats been up....we're going to rewind to my Rome trip.</div>

On Saturday of our Roman adventure we took a 5 hour cooking class. It might be one of my favorite parts of all my European adventures. It was an experience filled with 2 of my favorite things...good food and my good friend <a href="http://hannahtravelstospain.tumblr.com/">Hannah</a>. Our chef Andre and his wife were so welcoming to all of us in the class. We learned how to prepare artichokes, homemade pasta, some complicated chicken recipe that involved fire, delicious spinach, potatoes and soufflé. It was the best meal I have ever had and I actually plan to make everything again...except the chicken because fire and scary. It was not only fun because of the food but also because we met some really cool people from Portugal, the UK, NYC, Washington DC, and I believe Switzerland. It was a great day!</div>

I am taking a little break from the blog because as you can see from the picture I have only 9 days left in Spain and 5 of those are with my family! So I have decided that I will not be blogging until back in the U.S. (so crazy!). But don't you worry I will have tons of posts for when I am back (ex. finishing up Rome from a month ago, more about my beloved Madrid and so much more!). It is just crazy that my time here is basically over! I miss Madrid and Spain and Europe so much already! </div>

You guys it worked! Blogger uploaded my pics! I'm so excited! So here is a the second half of day 1 (Thursday Feb 28). So after our adventures around the Spanish Steps <a href="http://hannahtravelstospain.tumblr.com/">Hannah</a> and I walked to the Vatican. We went into the museum and looked at amazing frescos and the Sistine Chapel! We also mailed some post cards from the vatican (which was 2 euros!!! so expensive!). I'm not catholic but it was still so cool to have a peek into such an old institution. </div>

So I have been very MIA once again because wifi/my computer will not upload pics on to blogger...I don't know how to fix this problem so I will just keep trying everyday and hopefully fix this problem soon....wish me luck because technology has not been my friend lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In other news, I have made some new great friends and have had some fun and crazy times going out with them (I may have lost a pair of earrings and have a wicked bruise on my knee...). It has been amazing to find people to click with but at the same time its sad because I have so little time left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On that note, in 6 days my family lands in London and I will be going to Valencia with the friends! In 10 days my family will be in Madrid with me!!! I am so excited! And in 15 days I will be home in the U.S....how crazy is that?! I kind of don't believe it. I'm sad to leave but also excited to eat peanut butter and sleep in my own bed...oh and see that boy of mine:) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As for now, I'm off to drink café con leche and then go explore Madrid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Much love,</div>

Becasue it probably seems like all I do is travel and do cool things I thought I would give a run-down on my average week in Spain. Honestly its like any other normal (boring) college student but in Spain!</div>
<br />
Monday: wake up late (10:30), have breakfast, sit in bed and go on pinterest, get ready for school, go to school, class 12:45-2:15, lunch 2:15-2:30, second class 2:30-4, go home, go on pinterest or plan trips, 5:35 take metro to Carmen's apartment, play and speak english with Carmen 6-7, walk home if nice or take metro home if cold, do homework/study, eat dinner 9:30, shower, go to be 12<br />
<br />
Tuesday: Repeat but no Carmen, after school I usually go to a cafe and do homework, blog or go on pinterest....I love pinterest! Or go explore Madrid a bit before dinner.<br />
<br />
wednesday: Identical to Monday!<br />
<br />
Thursday: Identical to Tuesday!<br />
<br />
Friday: Identical to Monday, unless I leave for a trip or go out with friends later. Also I usually talk to the parents/family after school:)<br />
<br />
Saturday: If in Madrid, sleep in (as per usual), go to a museum or some cool Madrid attraction, lunch at 2:30/3, siesta!!!, blog/pinterest/watch a movie, go explore the neighborhood, go out with friends and stay out late or stay in and have dinner at 9:30 and go to bed at a decent time....ha!<br />
<br />
Sunday: Repeat of Saturday, minus the going out late because school is on Monday! Also, I sometimes get to Skype Riley and/or Nugget!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after writing this all down....I realize I am so boring even in Spain...but I have been loving every minute of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Much love,</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

In an ideal world I would have had this blogged 3 days ago however, blogger/wifi decided not to allow my photos to upload...so here is the first of my Rome adventures with my good friend, <a href="http://hannahtravelstospain.tumblr.com/">Hannah</a>! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We arrive in Rome late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning after the worst flight of our lives (Hannah had a drop of water fall on her in the plane, we were delayed 20ish minutes due to navigation system problems, so much turbulence, Asian man next to me took over the whole arm rest, so many ads on the plane, my head felt ready to explode when landing...just to name a few....note avoid flying Ryanair). We then barely making the last bus into Rome due to the delay (a cab would have cost us probably 50+ euros one way and the bus was only 8 round trip). So after the adventure getting in to Rome we arrived at our hostel and slept.</div>

Thursday morning, we had the free breakfast from our hostel and headed off for the day. We walked to the Spanish Steps, which were about 15 minutes away from our hostel. It was such a beautiful day to just enjoy the weather (I love you sunshine!) and people watch as we explored the area. When we went on our bike tour on friday our tour guide told us some fun facts about the steps. Fact 1, there was (and still is) Spain's embassy in this area so the steps were open to only Spanish citizens. It was literally gated off! Fact 2, at the top of the steps was a french church and the French were mad they couldn't access their church through this area. Fact 3, France and Spain had a little fight over this area which is in Italy. Fact 4, now the steps are open to all! Hooray!</div>

After exploring the Spanish steps and surrounding streets, we walked to this other plaza (name? I have no idea) and drank water out of the fountain because we felt like thats what we should do and posed by the lovely lions. We also saw a man with a cat on a leash....which was odd. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After walking for some hours and doing some window shopping we got delicious pasta and wine (well not me because I was on antibiotics for my stomach bacteria deal and ear infection...boo) at <a href="http://www.spottedbylocals.com/rome/pastificio/">Pastificio</a> for only 4 euros (thank you Spottedbylocals.com). It was a great first official pasta meal in Italy (note: our first official meal in Italy was at 1am at a sketchy McDonalds of Chicken bbq sandwiches because we needed wifi to find our hostel). After lunch, we walked to the Vatican (Btw the pope was there too...history in the making!) but that is a post for another day!</div>

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of posts and such...its been crazy. After Morocco, I got ill. Originally I thought I just had a cold and would get over it but after a few days I was getting worse so I went on and adventure to the doctor solo (this was on Thursday)....this doctor (who was not through and didn't listen to my broken spanish) said I just had the flu and need to rest. So over the weekend I rested and didn't leave the house from friday night until monday morning for school. After not being better by Monday night my host mom decided she wanted to go with me to the doctor. This time we went to a different doctor (much more competent and they brought in a translator so I would know exactly whats happening)...he said I had a double ear infection and a stomach bacteria. Gross. So now that I'm hopefully on the mends and currently I am in Rome (after surviving finals), here are pics from my 7 hours in Sevilla before leaving for Morocco.</div>

For whatever reason blogger doesn't want to upload pics and I'm lazy/sick/dying so for now here is the story of my trip to Morocco (its long but quite interesting, I think so at least)!</div>
<br />
I traveled to Sevilla by train early friday morning (so early I took the first possible metro to the train station) from there I met my friend Hannah from high school. After getting very turned around within 20 minutes of being in Sevilla we found our way to Hannah's home. I met her energetic host mama and saw her room and such. From there Hannah became my tour guide for the day until we had to jump on a bus to Morocco. In Sevilla we trekked around for 7 hours with our packs and saw it all, which was awesome because I don't think I will get down there again in this time in Spain. After walking a ton, we both had sore feet because of course we developed blisters the week before (go us!). So we got some cervezas and paella at an outdoor restaurant by the park...mainly because we (I) needed to use the bathroom before our bus and ferry adventure.<br />
<br />
After eating, drinking and peeing we went to the bus stop and got on one of the two busses filled with a total of 110 american college students. It was crazy! After our 2.5/3 hour bus ride to the port we went through security and onto the Ferry. At that point we were officially off to AFRICA, by this time it was around 7pm...I had been up since 5am so I was starting to become a mess! We bought ourselves some gummy candies from the duty free shop on the ferry (who knew that existed?!) and settled in for the 1.5 hour boat ride to Morocco. Once in Morocco I was over traveling...donezo! But of course the day was not over.<br />
<br />
So once through security again in Morocco we had to wait for 1 hour...on a curb....next to the port...in the dark...in MOROCCO for our buses to go through security. Though I didn't feel unsafe I knew not to leave the large group of us...some others thought they could just go explore around...um no! They were blond girls too...dumb. So after waiting for a good 30 minutes Hannah realized she had to pee......really really bad! We figured from the port our hotel was just a few minutes away. FALSE! It was another 1 hour bus ride from where we were currently. So after asking around we found that we could have one of our guides walk us to the bathroom in the security building. We both peed because who knew when a bathroom would be near again. I swear bathrooms were the focus of our weekend.<br />
<br />
So once on the bus again and driving for the final time of the night, we got to the hotel and had a yummy salad, amazing bread and cous-cous for dinner at 10:30pm. After that up to bed! Hannah showered because she doesn't have hot water at her home in Sevilla and I crashed at 12.<br />
<br />
Lets just stop a moment and count the modes of transportation Sara took in one day...1 metro in Madrid, 1 train, another metro in Sevilla, a 3 hour bus ride Sevilla to Tarifa, ferry ride from Tarifa to Tangier, then the bus again for 1.5 hours to the hotel...end day after about 20 hours of being awake.<br />
<br />
The next morning (Saturday) we were up at 7am, ate a yummy breakfast and were off for Chefchaouen (the beautiful city from <a href="http://ohhoneydontworry.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-blue-streets-of-chefchaouen.html">this </a>post). On our 2/3 hour bus ride there we stopped at a restaurant for bathroom usage. So I kind of expected to use sketchy bathrooms because we were in a third world country and traveling through the country side. So that was an adventure...even the boys were grossed out.<br />
<br />
I digress...we arrive to the city of Chefchaouen for a tour of the Medina (from what I understand its a secure part of the city surrounded by walls). Our tour guide was awesome and so passionate/angry (still not sure) but it was so great to hear some history about Morocco. After the tour we had lunch (chicken, french fries, the best bread ever and a salad), then we had 4 hours to shop/bargain and look around the Medina. Hannah and I struggled....seriously! We got suckered into buying these very cute bags but ended up spending more then we wanted to on them. After that we got a bit smarter but we may have had some panic attacks along the way. We (especially Hannah) have been so use to saving money or spending very little...so the idea of spending 30 euros on a bag even if it was real leather and a big size was kind of shocking. After 3 hours of shopping we were done and wanted to go back to the hotel.<br />
<br />
Finally we were back on the bus to the hotel. At the hotel I crashed and took a 2 hour nap before dinner and Hannah chilled in the room. During dinner there was a Moroccan fashion show going on, so you bet there were over 100 americans hardcore creeping on them. I cannot for the life of me recall what we had for dinner but it was good! Then we had time to chill. I showered and we both crashed.<br />
<br />
Sunday, we woke up, packed up, ate breakfast and drove some more. The schedule said we were going to the town of Assilah near the beach but instead we made a small detour. A girl on our bus got car sick or was sick and was THROWING UP three rows in front of Hannah and I. We all felt so bad for her because this was not the place you wanted to be sick at. So instead of going to Assilah first we went to the caves of Hercules, which was awesome. Hannah and I got a 'friendship' agate, which is a brilliant purple/pink color. Afterwards we rode, hung out and took a tons of pictures with camels. How cool is that...seriously?! Then we were off to lunch at this cute restaurant. We had a huge salad, chicken and fries (again) and fruit for dessert...however I am convinced this meal gave Hannah food poisoning and started my illness. From there we went to Assilah. A beautiful small town on the ocean with amazing graffiti. We only had 1 hour here which was a bummer because Hannah and I had some more shopping to do (everything is way cheaper in Morocco then in Spain) and it was just plain beautiful!<br />
<br />
From there we jumped back on the bus, rode it for however long, got on the ferry after long security and passport stamping adventure. Before we arrived at the port we had to stop at a stop light and some people tried to hide away in the engine cabinet...which was a crazy experience. I can't imagine hating your life so much that you would risk your life by the engine of a bus. So finally on the ferry, we ate a sandwich and chilled on the boat. After a very long day, we finally arrived back in Spain, took a 3 hour bus ride to Sevilla (some people had scheduled busses and trains for 12:15 when we were suppose to arrive at 12...dumb) so a lot of people were stressed! Hannah started to feel like crap on the bus (when she got home she took her temp and had a fever of 101.5) and had all the symptoms of food poisoning. I felt fine at this point but little did I know I would still be sick a week later.<br />
<br />
We survived a exciting and crazy Moroccan adventure! With so many laughs and craziness along the way. It was overall amazing. However, I caught so odd bug there and have been sick since monday (one week people). Last thursday I went to the Doctor and he said I just had the flu but after this long...I'm over it! And I'm going to Rome with Hannah on Wednesday...so get better body! Now I'm off to school because I also have finals wednesday...wish me luck friends!<br />

Morocco, as in the African country was visited by my dear friend Hannah (check out her blog <a href="http://hannahtravelstospain.tumblr.com/">here</a>) and I this past weekend in a large group of 110 college aged Americans. It was crazy, fun, educational, and very sleep depriving trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All these pictures were taken on Saturday in the town of Chefchaouen. We had a guided tour by the most passionate english, spanish and arabic speaking man, pictured below. He told us all about how there use to be Jews, Christians and now Muslims and how you can still see some of the remnants of them. The streets were all painted blue, which was so beautiful but also had a very specific purpose. Originally the blue indicated the Jewish part of town but now they paint the streets blue 3-4 times a year to keep the heat in during winter and the cool in during the summer. Every corner you turned you saw the most beautiful street but then you were surprised when you came upon another street even more beautiful then the last. </div>

Very few of the people on the trip had been to third world country in Africa so there were lots of new experiences to be had for all....example odd toilets. But the most interesting thing to most of us, and was reinforced time and time again, was that Morocco is a Muslim nation, however women are not forced to wear the head scarfs and all are allowed to receive a free education through college. It was an amazing experience! I highly recommend going to experience Morocco and/or Africa.</div>
