GOING TO MOROCCO!!!

Today we were told our hotel accomodations and other miscellaneous information about our upcoming class trip to Morocco! Our hotel is amazing!! There are only 12 rooms in the building and our group is occupying 10 of them! We basically have the place to ourselves. Not only that, but there is an Arab bath, similar to what we did in Cordoba, as part of the hotel complex. For your viewing pleasure, here's the link to where we will be staying:

After being told this information, the entire group got even more excited than we all already are to be going to AFRICA! We're not only conquering Europe while we're here, but going to a whole other continent! The experience there will be quite different, but in a good way! None of us are used to the Muslim culture, and in Morocco, we've been told it's pretty intense. The guys have it easy, but 90% of the girls have to do some shopping! Our tight "skinny jeans" and low cut shirts are not going to suffice on this trip! Baggy pants and loose fitting shirts have been added to the shopping list! Hawra, one of my roommates, is from Kawait and when she went there to visit her family over Spring Break, she brough vails back for all the girls! We tried them on one night in the apartment...they're hot, as Hawra would say!
In the picture from left to right is me, Kristen, Hawra (the only one who can really pull off the look!), Jessie, and Stacey. We'll see if they become necessary while in Morocco! Everyone is excited to be going, but a little unsure about what to expect as far as clothing, food, and the rest of the atmosphere in general. All in all, it will be a fascinating experience!
