Logan's 3 solo days in Marrakech

-

I am crashing CJ and Jake's travels during September. I just spent a month traveling southeast Asia, and a month in Ireland before that.

I arrived in Marrakech on August 29th after 3 flights from Hanoi. At the airport, the guards made fun of my American accent, which would never happen in Vietnam – at least to my face. The Moroccan sass is a refreshing culture switch from the shy nodding and smiling that dominates Southeast Asia.


My solo time in Morocco is far less structured than Asia. So far, all I’ve done is wander and eat. Everything here is dry, especially the air. It reminds me of Colorado in that way. The colors are bright and the smells are subtle. There might be as many cats and scooters on the streets as people. 



Right now, I’m on another rooftop terrace during sunset. The city is more welcoming at night, as it cools and lights begin to dot the blocky clay horizon. Here I am doing less but finding more to photograph and write about. The world here is striking and aesthetically complete. Each little thing has more individuality than in Vietnam, where the world is wet and busy and smudged. 




I'm excited for Jake and CJ to get here!

Youssef leads us to the Sahara

-
Image
Youssef, our guide in the Sahara Desert, is a witty, short man with a nice Toyota Land Cruiser and a love for beautiful women. He is of Berber descent, which is the main ethnic group native to Morocco, predating Islam by thousands of years. He is a certified smooth talker, often charming police officers at patrol stops into letting us through without a bribe. His charisma is less successful when used on Spanish girls we encounter on the road. We have a relationship of mutual amusement with Youssef. Our bumbling American accent clearly entertains him, and his snarky remarks in broken English crack us up in return. He immediately gave us all nicknames — CJ Jake and Logan became Muhammed, Abraham, and Rashid. Logan, however, was sold a dress that he thought was for men (pictured above), and once he donned that Youssef called him Rashida. Logan paying ten of his hard earned dollars for a dress the salesman claimed had "very masculine colors". We’ve learned a lot of facts from Yo...

The Food of Marrakech

-

Welcome to our food tour. A main mission of this trip is to assimilate with the locals by dressing discreetly (pictured below) and by eating their food ( many pictures below). I think we each consumed approximately 3-4 thousand calories a day justified by two runs for a total of seven miles over the past five days. While we have seen some amazing cultural sites and learned much about Marrakech and Morocco more broadly (plug for Jake's post), much of this trip has been wandering from food to food. CJ preparing for day 1: The rooftop breakfast was always a crowd pleaser, with minimum four types of bread along with assorted dips and toppings (oil, jam, honey, cheese, egg). The two Spaniards were our unexpected roommates for a couple nights (shoutout Amine for hustling and booking out our one unused bedroom). Day 1 After our breakfast we had a couple lunch tajines (best of the trip): Followed up by an unpictured beef sandwich and a ~$1 chicken street sandwich: We capped off our first ...
