| Morocco: Week 1This week has been a crazy flurry! We had to wake up at 5 in the morning to get to the airport and went from SLC to New York. Unfortunately in NYC, we had a SEVEN-hour layover! Ugh. We were supposed to be visiting our friend Samira while we were there, but I guess her phone was turned off and we never got in touch with her. It was lame. So instead we had to just sit at the airport for a really long time. It went fairly quickly I guess, but then our flight to Casa ended up leaving late by an hour, with us just sitting there on the plane. It was totally ridiculous! But whatever. Anyway, so we got to Casa finally (which, btw, my hair doesn’t take to this stupid weather well, so within like ten seconds it was already curly) and met up with my mom’s family.
From there we drove to Rabat, and met up with some more of my moms family, and finally got to eat some real food, thank God! Then I fell asleep. Haha. Jet lag, what can I say? Anyway, so I was pretty tired, but I mostly just kinda listened to everyone talk and such, and then we went to bed. The rest of the time in Rebat went pretty much the same way. We woke up late every morning (on account of staying up till like 3 every night haha), and then just kinda chilled while everyone caught up. We went to the beach a couple of times, but since we went so late it was always cloudy by the time we got there and it was COLD! I swam the first time, but the second time I mostly just slept on the beach. We went around town a couple of times too and just looked around, shopped a bit, but that was about it. Kinda boring. At least I had Internet there haha, unlike here.
Finally we went to Sefrou, in which we stay at my Grandma’s house. This is the first time I’ve been here, but it’s SO pretty. I love it. They are still working on the renovations on it, but they are just about done and it looks great. We’ve only been here a few days now, and haven’t done much yet. We went to the pool yesterday, which was actually pretty fun! It is like just this huge party spot for all the local teens. Everyone there knows each other, and they have a separate pool for the little kids which was nice too. There also aren’t very many adults, and the lifeguards are 10x times more chill than the ones back in the U.S. Still no cute boys to been seen just yet, there are a couple that are okay, but man, boys in the U.S. are a lot hotter! I’m keeping a look out though. The guys dress very different here, which is kinda weird to me. It’s a very… metro look? It’s the only way I can think to describe the look.
Oh well. Hopefully we’re going to go see my dad’s family today, but it’s raining so I don’t know if were still planning on it. I love my dads family, but a lot of my cousins are all older and moved out, so its kind of boring. But, I want to see my Grandpa! Also, my cousin is getting married in less than a month, so I’m syked to go to a wedding; my grandma even gave me this awesome dress as a present! It’s going to be fun. Henna time, woo! Haha! I think I’m going to get another piercing while I’m here. I get one almost every time I come, it would be weird to not get one this time haha. So I’m thinking either re-pierce my navel, or my cartilage? Haven’t decided just yet. Opinion? I haven’t done any shopping yet unfortunately, but I think we should go in the next couple of days. Not having my own car blows! BUT I do have some cool stuff to bring back home! :] AND I am getting some good sun, WOO! Besides that… things have just been chill. I really miss my dad and my dog! And, of course, my friends! Haha! And I am kind of dreading coming back and having so much to do with so little time. I wish we had better planned that, but oh well, it’s too late now anyway. OH! I’m also pretty pissed cuz my stupid camera deleted all of my pictures which I took over 200 pictures, and now they are all gone. UGH! And there is nothing I can do about it.
(This next part is just memory part for my own personal blog; so don’t bother reading it unless you’re really THAT bored. Haha)
All of my little cousins have grown up! Ahmed and Kamar are both six now and are both so cute. Ahmed is a little bratty and spoiled, but mostly sweet. Kamar is freaking ADORABLE. Holy crap, she’s going to be SO pretty when she grows up! She is also so calm and sweet; I just love her to death. Which is so funny, cuz she follows me everywhere now, and she didn’t really like me as a baby. Haha. Ashraf is kinda a pain in the ass cuz he thinks he’s so cool. But I guess that’s just how it is when you’re 16. whateve. Rim is SO cute, her birthday is end of the month, and she’ll be turning 1. She is such a cutie, and so smart! She can mimick any sound you tell her, it’s so funny, I’m going to tape it haha and send it to Americas funniest home videos. Malaik is four, but this is the first time I met her. She is so adorable, but is SUCH a brat. She has to have everything and everything has to be done her way. It’s kind of annoying, but she always says sorry and is sweet about it again. Walid is all grown up now too, and thinks he’s funny. He was cuter when her was little. Haha. Weaim is just a little over one, and is cute, but very attached to her parents and is kind of a crybaby. She smiles sometimes though. Acraim is my handicap cousin, and he is so cute, but its really sad too. I love him to death though! Nada is JUST LIKE Zack, likes what she likes, doesn’t listen to any advice she is given and thinks she is always right. Oh well, comes with the age I guess. Nessim is cool; he is learning English so I talk with him. I He’s pretty good, but he is kind of a negative person, he pretty much hates Morocco and wants to go to America. I told him its really not that great, but he doesn’t listen. I haven’t seen the other 3 yet, some sort of family fued going on right now, so I’m not sure when that’s going to happen. Inside jokes of the week: Ashrah! Cha, cha, cha! My Aunt Smahan and I are in a fued, and so far I’m winning by 5, HA! That’s pretty much the end of this week, and the end of next week I’ll write again. |
