So I am in Chefchaouen for a while. I got here on Friday, and I will be staying till Monday I believe. At this point, I have no reservations at any hostels, so I am merely meandering along, and eventually I’ll end up in Seville on July 29. At which point, I will shed the green and khaki garb, slap a pair of shorts and white linen shirt on, grab a mojito, and do absolutely NOTHING for the next week. Except maybe try to get rid of the inevitable beard tan lines on my face.

Its been an interesting time. Most of my trip has been very enjoyable. The Moroccan people are for the most part very very hospitable, and kind. I was not prepared for the constant in and out of people in your life. Traveling solo, I have meet a lot of people (not as much recently, mostly around the main hot-spots of Essaouira and Marrakesh), and being fellow travelers, you bond quickly, enjoy a few days in the same geographic vicinity, and then, just as suddenly as it began, its over, and people move on. It takes a little while to get used to. I have really enjoyed the time I have had over here, and would love to come back in the future. I would need to have a more specific story in mind though, my strategy of photographing everything and anything has been good with this being my first time in the country, but I would love to return and complete a focused story on a specific topic.
So all in all, its been awesome. Chefchaouen is great, very laid back – I have enjoyed being here for an extended amount of time.
Hope to hear from everyone reading this soon! Keep the comments coming.
