Favorite Moments

Here are some of my favorite pictures from my trip. Enjoy!

This picture is from the Medina in Rabat. It was so interesting being in a space where there is such a joining of the "old" and "new" world as you see  men wearing the djellabas at the front of this picture next to two girls wearing clothes you would find in America.

I would have to say seeing this grave site in the town of Sale was  one of my favorite excursions on the trip. This picture does not even do the expansiveness of the graveyard justice and behind the grave site is the Atlantic Ocean. The match of the beautiful weather with a vision of nothing like I have ever seen made for a perfect afternoon.
Climbing up to the top of the city of Moulee Idriss on the small narrow streets, where I had my first donkey sighting made me feel like I was in Greece. It was quite the workout but I would have to say the view was worth it!


Camel burger anyone? Me and my friends decided to split a camel burger at our favorite hangout spot, Cafe Clock. I've been asked many times, "what does it taste like?." I honestly can't really pin how it tasted but I can tell you it was delicious!


On this day me and some of my friends decided to take a taxi ride through the mountains. It was such a nice relaxing afternoon, we got some great picture of the Middle Atlas Mountains and even got to feed some monkeys along the way.


I can now cross off camping in the Sahara desert from my bucket list! Riding a camel for two hours through the untouched sand made me feel like I was in Star Wars or that I stepped into that default computer background of the Saharan sand dunes. Even though I was quite sore the next day from ridding my came "Baha" it was an experience I will never forget. 



Of course I had to put a picture from Paris on here! Walking in front of the Eiffel Tower covered in snow made me feel like I stepped into a black and white photograph. There was hardly anyone around that morning making it feel like we had the Eiffel Tower to ourselves.
