Moroccan Dreamin
In about 3 hours I will be on a bus headed south to a new foreign land. I am not alone however, I have met 2 other females to accompany me and *BONUS* most accommodation (spell check isnt working for me today, I cant decide if its 2 Cs or 2 Ms or if I should toss in another A) is covered thanks to this nice man who is loaning us his family for the week. I only planned on spending 2 nights here in Granada, but seriously, it rocks so much that Ive been here a week and really dont want to leave. My hostelmates rock so much, all we do is drink and play card games and break for a siesta. There isnt much touristy stuff to do here, so its pretty relax. Yesterday, I walked to a Teiteria (Sheisha bar-where you smoke flavored tobacco from a hookah), then bought a nose ring and picked up an orange for lunch and that was my day. The hostel even cooked dinner for me!Yesterday I enjoyed some flamenco, it was quite fascinating. The dancer had so much passion and anger towards the music, she was throwing herself around, slapping her thighs, stomping her feet and twirling like a crazed tornado...Im suprised she didnt give herself whiplash as she flew across the room.
I lost last nights card game so Im stuck wearing this Gilligans Island floppy hat (aka: the Shithead Hat), its quite humiliating...I was forced to wear it out last night! I have declared one more card match before I leave, as I am determined to lose the Shithead hat and reclaim my title as "second laster".
-------------------------------
Location: Granada...still If anyone is ever in Granada, go to FUNKY BACKPACKERS! Best hostel ever, they even fold your laundry. Plus, they make the best Mojitos!
Wearing: Linen pants (only whores reveal their knees in Morocco)
Day's Activities: roll out of bed, shower, haul ass upstairs for breakfast, move from the breakfast table to the couch, lounge, brush teeth, check email, return to the terrace for a card game...eventually Ill taxi my way to the bus station
Thing you miss: I miss not having to worry about stinging nettle -its everywhere out here and it deserves that name!
