I am going to Morocco tomorrow! It’s crazy to think that I’ll be stepping foot in Africa within 24 hours. I’ll be gallivanting through the Marrakech market, Casablanca, Fez and a bunch of other places I’ve never heard of.
Ever since I read about Anthony Bourdain’s trip to the desert in Cook’s Tale I’ve been dying to eat an entire goat, roasted underground in the middle of the Sahara. Unfortunately, I’ve been warned that eating at places apart from our assigned destinations (hotels, restaurants etc) could be extremely dangerous to my health and comfort. Our guide even told us that although the fruit and vegetable stands look amazing, he severely recommends not eating them.
I have a feeling I’ll be able to contain myself with all the delicious dates, figs and exotic fruits and veggies. However, once I see the whole roasted goat stand in the market, I’d happily trade my stomach’s comfort for a tasty chomp.
This trip may not end well.

Josti,
It appears from your journal entries that you are having a amazing time. I must impart that I am incredibly jealous. Although, you must be hurting from the exchange rate, you are going to MOROCCO, the one place in the world I need to go to, shortly before Thailand. But, by my estimation, you should be home, roughly, in less than two months. SO, enjoy the time you have left, and I'll be seeing you before both you and I know it.

p.s. that idea of culinary school, that you planted in my head, is appearing more and more attractive
