is beyond words. it's loud, spicy, red, and full of smog and garbage and snake charmers. you can literally feel your skin soak up the spices from the souks, and hear the crazy mixture of french and arabic. the food is incredible, last night we had veggie cous cous and a glass of mint tea where the glass was packed to the brim with mint leaves...
today we met this guy who took us to the back alleys where they dye all the yarns...vats of boiling dye the color of poppies and eggplants...there are kittens and chickens everywhere...carrie let him listen to her ipod and he was like WOOOOAAAHHHH. so awesome.
tomorrow we leave at the asscrack of dawn for 3 days in the sahara. on the way we stop at a berber village, stay in a hotel for one night, and then the next night ride camels out into the desert and spend the night there. eeep. im beyond excited.
i also haven't showered in 4 days and haven't washed my hair since the turkish bath. hmm. gross. i'm turning into an absolute hippie. guess i should smoke more hookah and let my hair go to dreads.
know what they have here too? eye kohl. like, the real deal, cleopatra style. ladies, prepare yourselves for awesomeness.
ok signing off. probably wont update again until we get to london.
i MISS you all but never fear i'll be home in 10 days.
