| Hey everyone!! I'm starting a trivia contest (well, mostly trivia). Click here for more information. 2/18/07

Okay, so I’m used to having my own bed, my own blanket, etc. In lots of hotels, though, I end up sharing with Anika. We’re both blanket hogs, so what ensues is a sleeping tug-of-war, and whoever gives up loses the blanket. I usually am ready to go to bed, and hey, I don’t really need the blanket, so I let Anika have it. Then, around 3:00 AM, I’m cold and I take it back, and around 4:00, Anika steals it again. Normally I’m okay with that, but in our apartment in Istanbul, the heating system did not work. The first night, I woke up freezing, and after that, I took the sheet and she took the blanket. It wasn’t the greatest arrangement, but I wasn’t freezing. Then, one morning, I woke up, to find:
I am supposed to be sleeping on the side that is pretty much nonexistent. Note that she gives more room to her stuffed animals than to me.
Well, here in Greece at least I have my own bed. P.S.-Sorry I haven’t been writing more often, but I’m never sure what to say. P.P.S.-164 days until I’m back at home.

Hi everybody! Sorry that I haven’t been writing, but I’m going to try to update my page more frequently now. I’ll start with Morocco. We took a ferry from Algeciras, Spain to Tangier, Morocco. Then we caught a train around the coast of Morocco and eventually into Marrakech. Marrakech is divided into two parts. The inner part, the Medina, is the part within the old city walls, and overall, it’s the poorer part of town. Outside of the walls is the New City, where there are malls, McDonalds, and that kind of thing. We stayed in a sort of hotel. It was called Riad Noga, and it was like an expanded bed and breakfast. There were lots of guests, and being a family, we had an apartment just around the corner from the main body of the business. In Morocco, it doesn’t rain much, and almost all the houses in our neighborhood had instead of windows, a courtyard in the middle of the house. Our apartment had a really nice one, with four trees in it, and a fountain as well! We ate a couple of oranges and clementines fresh from the tree; they were fantastic! Well, more later.

July 19-My NO GOT regime, the eternal war against bad grammar.
Some observations about Europe in general: way too many smokers! EEK! When you walk out of a non-smoking airport, you have to walk between 2 dense lines of smokers, all puffing away and completely stinking up the area. BLECH! Now, some observations on France: 1) The French really like their bread! There are about 5 or 10 bread shops in the tiny town we're staying in alone! In Paris, breakfast came with the room we were staying in, and it was: half a baguette, some Nutella (nutty chocolate spread), some jelly, butter, and cheese. I'm glad I'm not allergic to bread. 2) The beaches seem to be tiny at high tide and enormous at low tide! We once had to walk half a mile to a mile to get to the water. 3) It rains... a lot. Every single day, it has rained. Also, the weather predictions are only correct about 5% of the time, so we're never sure when it will rain. Yesterday, I saw Harry Potter et l'Ordere du Phénix. It was pretty good, but when you can't understand a word, it's hard to criticize. It was amazing how many English signs and stuff there were. TAFN- that's all for now! June 19- alright, here's an attempt at a poem My dad is annoying, it's a fact, He looks over my shoulder; I need a pact. That's a forced rhyme, but hey, I have to write something, so there it is. |
