how jason got his groove back

it is funny how at the beginning of every trip to the developing world i am all freaked out; seriously, what a pansy

i have finally found the way in a combination of french and english to tell every tout, would-be-tour guide and shopkeeper no/non/la with a smile yet still get the point across that I mean no. and i have even used to leaarn this damn french keyboard pretty well. morocco is now a totally awesome place for me. yay

marrakech is a pretty amiusing place all-in-all. if fes is like a visit to a monestary-come-city, marrakesh is a living, breathing carnival. yes everyone is on the takr but so what the whole thing is a hoot.

although today i daytripped it out to a nearby valley qnd met a nice aus/kiwi couple and an englishman (with a mc and a canuck we'd cover most of the english speaking world). not any amazing sights per say but a lovely small waterfall, a pleasant day hike, some nice conversation and plenty of mint tea makes for a relaxing day. a holiday from my holiday even

tomorrow i leave in the ayem for the atlantic seaboard. enough with all this lamb, jason is in the mood to gorge on the creatures of the sea!
