Well right now I'm in Marseille France, it's lovely being in the south of France in June. It's very warm, the streets are crowded and everyone is happy. I've only been to Nice before and been wanting to come here for quite some time, I just wish I had more time. I have a ferry that leaves tonight for Corsica and then I will meet up with Diane as we travel Europe for the next 3.5 weeks.
Yes, Europe! We decided not to go to Western Africa, not because of Ebola, but mostly because it's rainy season and very hot there right now. These countries don't have AC like the modern world so we decided to just spend some time in southern Spain and champagne country in France. Sounds better right?
I booked my plane ticket back home to the states for my cousins wedding. I will leave from Valencia Spain on July 15th. Couldn't be more excited. It will be nice to be home and see my family and friends. Between now and then, I'll be in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, France, including Corsica and Sardinia (Italy). No new countries, but lovely ones and going to some places I've never been and also revisiting some places that I have been! Really looking forward to my European summer!
Well London a week ago was fab! Just great! I enjoyed every part of being in the United Kingdom and everything felt so familiar. The weather was cool and mostly sunny which is rare! I just enjoyed going into marks and Spencer's and boots, tesco, and costa! I met up with a former colleague of mine that I worked with when I lived there which was so nice! Had our fair share of lager and vino!
After my short 4 days in London, I ventured off to morocco. I had a nice place there so to be honest I didn't leave too much! The weather there was pretty hot so walking around wasn't that pleasant. I spent a good 4 hours walking around the medina in Marrakech but was slightly disappointed. Maybe if I had someone to walk around with and stop at cafes and drink mint Moroccan tea with I would be happier? Nevertheless, I get annoyed when every local is trying to sell me something on the street and talk to me in every language besides English. They wanted to sell me everything which to be honest I wasn't having it. The souk is cool, but I've been to a lot of souks! And since I cannot buy anything cool due to lack of space in my bag, well what's the point. And the smell of the souk awful from all the horse carriages near by. I think the warm humid climate soaked in the stench.. Anyways I was happy to chill out and smoke shisha in my hotel :)
23 days! Not that I'm homesick or anything.... But I will enjoy these 23 days in Southern Europe feeling nostalgic and loving life drinking wine and champagne and eating tapas!
