Alright- so this double-day entry is well worth it. Trust.

 

I was writing in my journals for classes and doing homework like the good girl that I am. The ship is bare bones since everyone is on camel treks. So I ventured to Apollon  (Deck 6) for lunch.

 

I saw my super (supervisor- just catching you all up on some lingo) sitting, and joined him for lunch. After determining that I was the pickiest eater alive, and a lot of convincing- he got me out of doing my homework so he had a buddy to tour town with. We set off walking since the shuttle bus was on it's lunch break- and it def. was a 25 minute walk. Hahaha. After near-about dying several times by means of tankers, and dirt bikes, and Nikola grabbing me from behind and scaring the hajeebies out of me, we headed out of the port- towards the Medina in search of a...wait for it... this really is happening... Hookah Bar. We got lost several times- but me being me- just point blank asked the Moroccans where to go. We FINALLY found D'Anfa- the street we wanted (after trekking through one of the worst markets...on earth). To our dismay, not only could we not find the Hookah bar- but if we did, it would be closed, so we set back on a journey back to the ship. Browsed in a few shops, and lo and behold, 5 minutes from port, was a Hookah Bar. They were open! I must say- there are LOTS of photos of this hilarious event- I partook in this wonderful activity. Although I don't smoke, I am VERY tempted to buy a Hookah- and some shisha.

 

Ours was flavored green apple (which is pretty generic)- My super (who mind you has done this a few times before) got really light headed- and I ...not a thing.  Although I exhale out of my nose, and often my nose and mouth- and therefore my new nickname from him is "Dragon lady" or Dragon for short. Hahaha. It was one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. The water was clean, and the mouth piece was fresh out of a bag. We also enjoyed mint tea...which honestly. BEST TEA EVER.

 

Even if you don't drink tea...guaranteed you'll love this. I feel like I have had an authentic Moroccan experience.

 

Plus the thought of me and a hookah is just absurd- as I am sure many of my friends are stunned, and laughing at the mere thought of this.

 

Not to mention I was also with my Super- It made it that much better. Plus we had a great bonding experience. Morocco is a pretty chill place to be. The sun has come out, and there's a slight breeze, and it's sunny and 70. It has been such an amazing day- and I am glad that I broke my homework streak to venture out again.

 

I cannot wait until Marrakech tomorrow. I am stoked! I miss you all and hope you're having a wonderful time living vicariously through my blog.
