Ok well the sand I'm referring to is the Saharah dessert, but I'm on my way today to the beach in Agadir.
I finished up spain with a hike to the coast and axplored Fisterra and Muxia, both adorable little coastal fishing and harbour town where the atmosphere is quaint, seafood expensive and weather is crap. (Not crap but just not the sunshine i was hoping for.)
Now I have been in Morocco for 5 days, most of zhich was in Marrakach exploring the palaces and souks and resaurants. I did tqke off on a 3 day excursion to the Sahara dessert. We got to go for a camel ride, sleep in Berber tents in the dessert and ride in a bus for a total of about 16 hours.
Mom, you would be proud; i helped (not that she really needed any) an old Berber woman prep some sheeps and camel wool for spinning and weaving. I would like to thank you for those skills that I'm sure are hereditary.
Today i leave for the coastal beach town of Agadir and soon to Essaouira where I think I'll spend the rest of the month. I surprising chose the safer of two options i was considering. The other option was to head down the coast to Dakar, south of Morocco; but someone told me that to get there I would have to pass through Mauritania which right now is a bad scene where...
"There is a high threat of kidnapping in Mauritania and surrounding countries by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQ-M)."
So Im going to stay by the beach. Ciao
