Okay so let’s back up a bit... Maheeyah went to school on
Monday, I wish I could say it was wonderful, but it was exactly like wonderful
but different. The children were so excited and in awe of her hair and
personality, that a soon as we walked in they all ran up to her at once and
started touching her clothes and hair. (Here is a tid bit of info about
Maheeyah, she forbids people to come into her space without being invited, and
she does not allow anyone to touch her without her permission. ) she was outraged
and mad as hell… So that was pretty much it. She kept her face tight and her
arms balled up the whole time. When she was at her desk the child next to
her tried to reach out and touch her hair, Maheeyah snapped her head around and
growled at the little girl sending the poor child into tears…. Yeah today was
less than perfect! Where was Baby Jesus when I needed him?? lol
Marakech is a wonderful town, if you come from America but
don’t want to give up any of your American habits... There
is rap music blasting everywhere; and even KFC, Pizza Hutt, and McDonalds have made
their way to Africa. Most of the homes have Microwaves; It is pretty much
the west just with a lot of donkeys. For all of you who know me, know that just
will not due, especially the RAP music. OMG!!!I think I’ve heard more rap in
the last 3 days than I’ve heard all year. So I got to thinking, maybe Marakech
is not really the place for me. I was not expecting America to follow me to
Africa. So this is what I’m going to do, we are going to hold off on the
schooling for now, and I am going to Backpack across Morocco. I am on the
search for the perfect Morocco; the Morocco that has little to no influence by
the west. Does it exist?? I don’t know, but I would love for you to go with me
while the girls and I travel by foot, bus, train, camel, horse, and donkey.
Yes, I said Donkey. I promised the
readers and my girls an adventure and that’s what you’ll get. So get ready,
stay tune, we pull out in 3days...
International looks good on me...lol.. I am In the hallway
of the hotel in Istanbul.
