Censor! Delete!

Morocco doesn't observe daylight saving's time -- making me 5-6 hours ahead of those that I love instead of a mere 4-5. I am sure it is only pyschological, but I think that I feel further away. Grr-oss.

It was a pretty good week/weekend, I've managed to acquire plane tickets for Paris next month: Awesome. A trip to Spain is also in the works -- life is great, really and truely. I also acquired some pretty fancy Moroccan jewelry. Nancy and I went to the medina and ended up running into a shopowner that Shifa and I had previously befriended. He has the cutest shop, complete with the cutest kitten in the world. The kitten jumped in my purse, I reallyrealllly wanted to run away with it...

We also bought kohl, which is super-difficult to apply with a wooden stick (most things are?) but Nancy and I somehow managed despite our somewhat less-girly personalities. Pictures below! You've been forewarned...







Me + my shopowner buddy Abdelaziz. He helps me with my Arabic. Sometimes he helps me with my English...












Nancy and I in Abdelaziz's superexciting shop of all things awesome.















Wearing new jewelry and attempting kohl... cute.
