public bath houses and sleeping in the desert---just describing my christmas :)

gah, where to start? oh right--the flight to morocco--wellllllll first of all there were about 25 kids between the ages of 1 month to 7 on the plane...but before we could even get on the plane the stupid ryanair people checked EVERYONE´s bags to make sure that they fit in the dumb little thing--well of course my doesnt sooo i proceed to take clothes out and put them on..in the end i left 3 olddd tshirts, had on 4 tank tops, 2 shirts, 2 jackets, 2 pairs of leggings and 2 pairs of socks...and all of this i did right in front of everyone in the line cuz you know what? i thought it was pretty damn ridiculous that i couldnt just get on the plane, we know the bag is going to fit because its squishy--not like a rolling bag or anything..so anyway finallly i got on the plane and then proceeded to de-robe again haha

sooo arrival in morocco was fine-got a cool stamp in my passport!! then we got picked up at the airport by the guy we booked our 4 day tour with and he took us to our riad, which was soo pretty (pics on fb later) and surprisingly easy to find which was nice :) then we were the only ones in the riad, we had a cup or two of tea and then headed to bed!

the next morning we got up and had breakfast, then headed out for our 4 day desert tour! we met our guide and driver--ismael and ahmed! ismael spoke alright english--enough to answer all 5000 of moms questions and ahmed spoke about 3 words of english and a little spanish, so mostly he didnt speak at all to us haha we stopped at a couple of places and took pictures and drove through some really pretty mountains--stopped for lunch and then went to our first stopping point for the night in the Dades Gorges--the hotel was nice and we had dinner and then went to bed--only to wake up and find that the power was out haha it was FREEEEZING at night but we had a ton of blankets so it worked out fine :)

gah there is sooooo much more but i just dont have time or the patience to sit here and write it all at one time..so it will be in pieces, with this being piece number one!

tbc.....
