This past weekend we visited Chefchouan and Tangier. Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved Chefchouan. It's a blue and white city, super clean and traditional. I hope to one day go back, it's so romantic. Not to be cliche or anything but it seriously was the prettiest place I've seen thus far. We had lunch and dinner overlooking the city. There is usually three courses in Morocco. I started off with a Garlic Eggplant Appetizer, Chicken Skewers, and Chocolate Crepes. Ofcourse, I had loads of bread, served with every meal. Really killing me right now...
After lunch, we hiked up a mountain with a Mosque on it. It had a wonderful view of the city. Then we toured around the Medina. I met a artist who paints landscapes of Chefchouan, he has this tiny little shop tucked back in the Medina. I bought a blue and white landscape portrait for my dorm room. I figure it will give me some inspiration while I'm up late writing a paper. There are so many things I could buy when I'm here. Speaking of which, my concept of money is really thrown off here. For whatever reason, using another currency makes you feel like you have more than you really do. I end up buying things that I would never spend that much on in America and pass on the inexpensive authentic goods. Messed up much? At least I'm realizing now!
