MOROCCO PICS ARE IN!!!!

There are a lot of cats in Marrakech, by a lot I mean a shit ton. They were everywhere, kind of like stray dogs in Mexico City, here there are stray cats, even kittens. They would just roam around and chill. It was crazy.



In Marrakech (like most of the world), they are really into soccer. They follow European football very closely and there are some die hard fans, although they have never seen their team play. This is a tagging for Roma, although most people followed Barcelona or Real Madrid. I personally dig Atletíco de Madrid, but they never win.



There was a group of kids skating in this square, and this is a post on the square. It's funny skater kids look the same everywhere. I was just in Sevilla, where thay had a mini skate park and those kids could easily be in LA, PB, or anywhere really.

This is the standard vehicle of Morocco. Most people ride these motorized bicycles, instead of cars of scooters. You can try to just manually pedal, but they seem to be quite heavy. Dig the Nike swoosh.



This is Essouira. It's on the coast about three hours away from Marrakech. We really wanted to go down on the beach but it was mostly rocks. So we wandered off the map we had and found a spot where there was sand. In the back there is a sick fort they have going on. Oh!! and while we were sitting down there, this crackhead came up to us asking for something (probably crack), so we told to go away. We peaced out shortly thereafter.

EDIT: the shitty quality of these photos is that i shot with disposables since my slr had not arrived yet. enjoy!

A Few Things..

I'm just going to start writing...The first thing I can't seem to get out of my head are how lame the kids from SMU that are at our program are. OK, I'll explain. So the school where I'm at is both USD and SMU students. Its about a 75-25 ratio with USD as the majority. They sit in the front of all the classes, shirts tucked in for dinner, hair is combed and parted. I mean, come on. Maybe I'm just too California or whatever...Anywayyyy

So there's a Che Guevara movie coming out, which apparently is very good, there's posters for it all over Madrid. Its directed by Steve Soderbergh(spelling?) and I want to see it badly.



I woke up today to the sounds of one of the neighbors blasting (literally.) rancheras. I thought i was in TJ for a sec, then spent the day trying to figure out how to and when to go to Morocco. I think I'm gonna go to Marrakesh, the other cities seem like they've been Westernized a bit too much already. So after that I cruised to Parque Eva Peron, had some strawberry ice cream (Cold Stone wassup??!!), watched some old people/dogs walk around. Then headed over to Tribunal which is like Hipster-town, Madrid. It was awesome they were all in this little plaza chillin, I forgot my camera today. But I will def go back and shoot some pics.
