merry x-mas

hello all, we have left fez, and gone on to Essaouira, which is on the coast of maroco.
we had an awful overnight buss here. the buss was the most cramped buss yet; and my mother and myself were both sick for the ride, infact, she is still home right now, sick.
it is fantastic here, there are wide open beaches, with people ready to take you on a horse or camel ride, amazing shops full of, sadly, thuya wood. Thuya wood is a endangerd kind of wood, because of its over harvisting
anyways, if you buy at the co-ops, they practice maintainable harvesting,
we love it here
we are leaving for marakkesh soon
see ya

hello from fez

hello all, i have had a problem finding a computer that allowed blog spot to run

we are nopw in fez, and we love it here

we arived at 3:00 am by buss, got into a taxi, and were told that the driver did not know the street where out apartment was!

after driving for an hour we settled on a little hotel, that was cheap

the other dawy we found out appartment, we had been in the hotel for three days

let me put it this way
if you get in to a car, and you drive,, and drive further, and a little further than that, you will run in to our appartment. so we stayed in our hotel, wich is right down town, with cool stors nearby, and the medina about a 10 minute walk

this is the medina, whish is a crazy warren of streets, each full of buisinesses, its too steep and narrow for cars, nope they use horses. the medina itself is proably abolut 3 km long, 2 wide, and crazy

in the center are the leatherpits where they hand make leather i bought a camel leather belt. it smells like rotting animals, it looks like hell, and its work for some people
the medina is crazy, unpridictable, with camel heads marking butchers, and pretty much evry other person being a saleman

so far i have bought a traditional arab dager, you know, the ones the tuck into their belts, a lamp, about six pirated movies, my bro got a fez, a lamp made with hide!

tomorrow is the fest du mutton, AKA the festival where they all go buy a live sheep, and then slaugter it in their houses, its somthing akin to christmas
HOHOHO!!

HELLO

hey, im in sevill, we love it here, nice and quiet
i am wondering, does anyone want to give me their postal cose and street adress, and i will mail them a letter, there are some good 1s here

¡hola! from seville

hey im in seville, sorry for the periodic updates
we loved barcalonna, they have this great centeral hestoric disterict, surrounded by the 100 year old ¨new¨ district. we saw much gaudi, who if you dont know, is a architect from the 20´s who did this

and others, the only problem is the apartment was tiny, only 1 room, so we got on one anothers nerves
we saw lots of niro suptures, picaso paintings, gaudi´s buildings, and such. increadiably, there are nearly no cars on the street, for a city the size of vancouver, it is quiet!!
the only other anoying this is that my camera started making a grinding noise when i turned it on, i took it to a camera expert and he siad ¨kabosh¨, meaning that its finished, so im rairly using it till i can get to canada and get the warrenty
love it here, its quiet, and peacfull
