Morocco vs. Spain


These bunnies are NOT for eating.


I went to Barcelona for spring break and ate more salad at an all-you-can-eat vegetarian restaurant than I have ever eaten in my entire life. I missed lettuce.

I found the perfect metaphor for Spain vs. Morocco: on las Ramblas in Barcelona, they have lots of pets for sale: birds, fish, ferrets and bunnies. The bunnies are all snuggled up together and very cute. (see above)

I had just arrived back in Morocco after lots of haha, rabbit food, when I saw another bunny on the street, snuggled in a box. After a short conversation with the man selling it, I realized that this bunny is for eating. Oh, Morocco...

Chefchouen






I went for a hike in Chefchouen, a tiny mountain town painted blue. It was the first time in Morocco that I felt truly at peace with my surroundings, my situation, and just...everything.
