African Sunshine

Hola. Marhaba. How are things? we are back in barcelona. we went to Madrid and then to Algeciras and then took a ferry to Morocco. excellent. wellllll worth it. loved morocco. but we ARE SO SUN BURNT: an hour on the beach and now a ridiculous burn.

there are some english men arguing next to us in the café. ridiculous.

so in morocco we went to Tangier and stayed at Dar jameel the firs night. basically a palace. then we took a5 h bus to Rabat. horrible idea. but WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
then we took a train back o tangier. and had no place to stay and had arrived at close to midnight so some women on the train offered to host us... we wathed the michael jackson news on E! ate bread and cheese and went to bed at like two am. they were wonderful women who spoke little english but hosted us VERY well.

morocco was very cheap, and the exchange rate for once was in our favor.
I bought dresses and rocks. and a backpack.
lets hope when I mail them they show up.

Spenser bought a blanket. he is VERY HAPPY about this. camel hair. bought it from a man who gave us mint tea.

we also drank orange juice worms. well spenser drank all of his. and I made it about half way through the glass when I realized there were worms in it. anyone know anything about worms in orange juice?

Tomorrow we try for Milan... wish us luck.

The Universe is 20 square miles

Salt Lake City... 20.00 dollars for Gas... 20.00 for food... smuggling wine at a strict Mormon wedding... priceless.

So Matt>>pictured next to our transportation (the Jelly Bean) and I drove to Salt Lake City Utah to see a good friend and former intern, Mike, get married to another girl we know, Meg.

So alas, after entirely too long in the car we arrived in Salt Lake City...

and... then next day ventured to the Great Salt Lake. which is just about as thrilling as it sounds. and it smells like death. and salt. and it was a ridiculous adventure during which our feet sunk deep in death-mud and we were surrounded by dead birds that we labeled as evidence (who wouldn't do the same thing... really?)

But! our adventure did bring us to ask some serious questions... Why?!? Why did Brigham Young choose SLC? alas... after asking Elder Santog at the church, we realized that no one really really knows the answer to this life question.

The wedding was spectacular.
