When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money. ~Susan Heller

Is it bad…

…that I have learned more Spanish than Portuguese since I’ve been studying in PORTUGAL?  Food for thought.

Moroccan Color Palettes

One of the things I loved about Morocco was the abundance of color. It was everything I ever imagined, but seeing it in real life made it 10 million times better. Souks filled with scarves, lanterns, and robes made for major eye candy. But it was the tan/neutral + bright color combo that I was most intrigued by— it was always so effortlessly perfect, whether it was man-made or natural.

I guess this means I have to get tanned and buy some green and turquoise colored dresses. Or maybe go back to Morocco and find myself a tan leather bag with turquoise.

Oh, also. I held that iguana.

update on updates.

Time is moving so quickly, I am updating my blog so slowly.

It is already Saturday, March 10— To think that last Saturday I was in Morocco, and Guimaraes/Porto the weekend before, Estoril before that, and Sintra on my second weekend here seems crazy. I should probably document these things ASAP before my memory starts to fail me.

I will write a new blog post now…
