Photos uploaded

Hey everyone, I finally got a bunch of photos online!  It took longer than I thought to upload and comment on everything, so I don't have time left to write much on here.  I have to get to bed because I'm going skiing again tomorrow, but you should check out the photos on picasa and make some comments so I know that you love me (the last 7 albums are new, everything from "Venice with Katie" onward).

Sorry to cut this so short, I'll post more about my Morocco trip next time!

Love you all.

Marrakech

So, here I am in lovely Morocco! Despite forecasts of rain and clouds,
the weather has been treating us really well. Last night we took a bus/
train from Tangier to Marrakech, and today we wandered through the
biggest bazaar imaginable (called a souk here)! We were pretty
exhausted after the night of traveling, so while everyone took a nap I
went back out to the market to buy some things. It turns out that
haggling isn't too bad, once you realize that there are 7,000 of
everything and you get used to how persistant they are. Being polite
here is not always the best idea!

The patio in the picture is our hostel, which is very cozy. Some of my
travel companions aren't quite used to the hostel life, but I think
they are enjoying it too. Now we just have to decide what to do with
our evening and the day tomorrow. I am hoping we can find some kind of
day trek out of the city, I would really like to see the country here.

I wish you all could be here with me!

Forgetful ATM

Apparently it's running low on virtual memory... they probably should
have chosen a better operating system!
