so mals and i arrived in Milan - yes thats right MALLORY and i haha shes now staying and its for sure now so im super excited. We had a great time in Morocco, went for camel rides, swam, ate a ton of awesome Morrocian food ( oh yummm craving tajine) drank a friggin lot and got haressed for being white and americans cause we are white so thats what they think we are. We pretty much spent thr whole time time in Morocco with a great group of other travellers so we got treated a lot better being with guys but as the second i walked around the streets by myself or even with Mallory we got grabed, haressed, yelled at for no reason, covered or not ( marrakesh was great cuz a lot of people didnt cover up and its very touristy) mallory and i even at one point got chassed down a street for no reaosn while a guy was threatneing us. i heard a lot of people yell at us for being americans too....but that was honestly when i wasnt with the guiys cuz the second i was it changed . i got hit on a lot but never grabbed or yelled.

So mallory and i flew outta Marrakesh yesterday...and it was the most biziarre fight EVER. for one, when i booked it it was dirt cheap which makes it sketchy right from there start. second it wasnt in the right order of departure times on the internet, third it took off at 2am lol and third when we got to the airport it wasnt even listed ANYWHERE and since not ONE person spoke english nobody understood what i was taking about. it was almost as though it didnt exist. finally some lady comes up to usat the waiting area and takes out bags and passports and asks to check us in so we are of c9ourse excited that there was a flight....except then she told us to wait in the lobby and we hadnt even gone through customs or security and told us to wait for the announcment sooooo...mallory and i are very confused but we wait...and wait...and its like an hour before our flight leaves and securirty is taking shots and smoking and listening to their ipods and lol..ummm....then they were sleeping lol so i get up and ask the information booth about our flight and shes has no idea of this flight so im freaking out being like...ummmm...we need to board and security is passed out and wont wake up and we NEED to get on lol and shes like shrugging her shoulders so i find someone else and she hardly knows enlish either and she tells me sit and wait for the announcement so i sit agian kinda freaked out....and i wait..and wait...and then its like half an hour before our plane is suppose to take off and we still in the terminal lol so i get up and ask another lady at the information and she tells me that they board at the very last minute and not to worry....so i sit back down....and wait till its like 15 minutes before our plane takes off and i ask another lady and she says..dont worry just wait......so finally its 2am and my flight should be taking off....STILL in the terminal....so i am getting pretty mad..mallory has passed out on the chair next to me, i finally see another lady who worked there speak perfect english so i jump up and ask her and she tells me that our flight it delayed till morning GRRRRR.....at least we didnt miss it so i pass out but its not a very good sleep cuz i didnt even know when we would take off since there was not even a listing of our flight but i guess at 5am i noticed a line up starting at customs and its a very small airport so i figured it must have been for our flight and lucky for us it was but they were so hush hush about getting us onto the flight and nobody even looked at my passport....at customs the guy just opended my passport up and stamped it and hurried me along...didnt even open it up to my picture lol so mallory and i get sent to this dark lobby where nobody on our flight really knows where we are going....a flight attendent comes up to us and rushes out a a door that leads to outside and onto the airport runway where we walk into the plane from outside and the small plane that plane and only holds about 100 people...and there were only 30 os us even taking the flight to begin with. So we fly to Milan...WORST FLIGHT EVER. i am not scared of flight but i was clutching my arm pretty tight lol super bad tubulance ...mallory was pale white the whole ride....well the part of the ride i saw her. i was so tired i passed out and kept being woken up by heavy turbulance and the flight attendant telling me to sit up straight ...finally 3 hours later i see the alps so i know we are close and then i see this huge city and im like...isnt that Milan and we are so high up still then BAM lol we land..like i think we did our entire decend and land in a total of 5 minutes lol i thought i was gonna puke and mallory looked like she was gonna die just from fright alone. so ya we arrive in Milan and its so much like Toronto and i feel so much at home that its nice...so we went shopping lol fashion capital of the world and i can see why....oh i am in loooove! Today we are off to Venice and im soooo excited....im sad that my trip is half way over booooooo! miss ya all
