I have come to the conclusion that in general, Moroccans are incredibly friendly and generous people (assuming money isn’t involved which is really a topic for another blog post). After enthusiastically participating in their annual lamb sacrifice, I was invited to see another part important part of Moroccan culture, a traditional wedding. (more…)
I just thought I would post a link to my photo gallery here just in case people didn’t notice it in the side bar. I have almost 400 photos of my holiday on their already with a whole 10 days left. If you are technically inept and want to write it down, the address is:
Well it finally happened. I did it. That’s right tree huggers, this morning I participated in the ritual slaughter of a lamb. Those with weak stomachs should probably not read the rest of this post as the graphic descriptions contained may offend some readers.
Just warning you that this is going to be a long one.
It’s 8am, I am at the airport one and a half hours early. While most of
the time this would be unbearable, it does have its advantages. I didn’t
have to queue to get through security, I had time to gorge myself on a
chocolate croissant, carragola and an Illy short black. While Illy is
better than most of the coffee I have had so far, it’s it still has
nothing on Di Bella. I have also found myself a nice see to sit and
watch the comings and goings on the tarmac, which could probably amuse
me for many hours. (more…)
The flight to Frankfurt was uneventful. I had a few very cold Bombay and Tonics (and they knew how I liked them made), then followed it with the best Pa-Naeng Thai curry I have ever eaten (sorry Spike). You wouldn’t expect airline food to be any good, but this was fantastic. I slept for about 7 hours, watched X-Men 3 (which was about as boring as the American football movie with Marky Mark that I watched last night). Breakfast was great too. Two German sausages, quiche of two cheeses with lots of soggy pastry, a roast tomato and something kind of like a hash brown. Mmmm.
