So, the long and short of it is that i've fallen in love with Morocco. The Moroccan people are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people i've ever met, and it's a place that I know I will be returning to again in my life.
The physical geography of the country is breathtaking - they have some of everything, the atlantic sea coast, the two Atlas mountain ranges (one of which, the high atlas range, houses the second tallest peak in Africa), plains lands, and the Sahara desert. The Imperial cities are amazingly alive with their massive historical souks, and are also a glimpse of the royal past with the vast palaces of yesterday.
I don't know if I can say how wonderful an impression Morocco made on me, but if you ever have a chance, go.
I will write more, but i'm headed to Fnac right now to see if I can get the sand cleaned out of my camera so it works again. I swear, I never had problems with breaking cameras before I studyed abroad...

Hey Beck!
I'm glad you had a wonderful time exploring Morocco - can't wait to hear (and see) more about it. I can imagine that these last few weeks will be busy ones, with finals and friends.
Love, Mom
Hola Chica!
How exciting to keep exploring and finding new favorite places! I hope that your hunger keeps you searching and finding all your life!!!!
My camera died too after my first trip to Africa. I hope the pictures you´ve taken are intact, and that you have better luck about a repair or replacement since you´re still under warranty. Good luck! (In any case, remember it´s not about the camera -- which never captures nada if it stays in a nice clean bag -- and keep using your "tools". If they get "used up", it usually means it´s time to upgrade to a more capable model!!!)
Looking forward to seeing you soon...
