Just wanted to take one last chance to rub it in to everyone back home that I'll be in Africa in a few days. I know I'm a jerk but I can't help it. I promise to take lots of pictures of the Atlas Mountains out in the desert and be sure to take some great shots when I visit the coast and the Atlantic Ocean. The city I'm staying in is called Marrakech. It is just a beautiful city that boasts the worlds largest outdoor evening market. The center square in the city is very Europeanized (from my understanding) but after sundown the true cultural differences between Europe and Africa come out. Dancers and snake charmers line the streets as music plays. There are some beautiful mosques that I plan to visit as well. It will definitely be a remarkable trip, and I still cannot believe that I'm actually getting to do this.
On a side note with Ash Wednesday today and the start of lent I decided to give up fast food for lent. After i stuffed myself last night for fat tuesday I definitely need to take a break from the McDonalds and Burger King anyway. The mass today was just excruciating. The ash ceremony lasted forever because there was only one person distributing ashes to a church that was packed from front to back. I definitely miss American church where they move quickly, talk with rythem, and the priests actually announciate their words.
ONE MORE DAY!!!!

Logan, you are a jerk and you CAN help it. Come on... some of us are freezing in London. (Actually it was 58 degrees here today. You missed the best day we've had so far!) Have a wonderful time in Spain/Morocco. It's already lonely here in Flat 2
