Hey Everyone.
I have very little time on the real internet. This is like my first time.
I am using a computer in our hotel in Marrakech Morocco with a french and arabic keyboard. Very hard to type.
But I spent the night in the Sahara Desert the other night in a Nomad village. It was a lot of fun.
We are headed back to the port city of Casablanca in a few minutes.
But just wanted to update and say I am having a great time. Spain was great. Im getting tired pretty quick but it is all worth it.
Ghana is our next stop: We will be there in about a week I think. So classes for a week. Then I have my birthday while in Ghana.
Sorry I cant ever post pics. Internet is just so limited: But I am alive and well everyone
Adios....I dont know any arabic
It's no longer Semester at Sea, but now a blog about my adventures at Harlaxton and throughout Europe for the Fall 2010 Semester. I will try and keep it up.
