Jet-setting

In 4 short days I will be taking my first international trip since Ive been in Spain. We're going to Morocco!!!!!!!! A few weeks ago late one night, Alex was looking on the internet and found a flight for 50 euro, so we bought it on the spot in case the deal didn't last. In our spontaneity, we failed to notice that Casablanca, our destination in Morocco, is highly unrecommended for tourists wishing to experience Morocco. Our travel plan failure is like Love Actually, when Colin goes to America; Im flying to the Wisconsin of Morocco. So, instead of being stuck there, we're getting off the plane in Casablanca and hopping on a train straight to Marrakesh. It's going to be a short trip, but I can't wait.

The following weekend is a festival in Valencia called Las fallas. Basically they light huge paper-mache figures on fire while everyone parties in the street. Some friends and I are buying our bus tickets tonight. This one is going to be a better planned Cadiz- It's organized by a company so hopefully we are there on the right day for the actual celebration!! We leave on a Friday morning, go to the beach-eat some paella- and then at midnight the burning begins. Then, our bus leaves at 2:30am back for Madrid.

I am headed to Amsterdam in the end of April! This one is farther away, so it's not fully planned- don't even have a hostel yet. but I WILL be doing a bike tour through the city.

ANDDDDDD of course Spring Break with da mama. Munich/greater Bavarian countryside for 4 days= castles and beer, and then Prague= more castles and more beer, and then Madrid!= all the restaurants I can't afford and parks.

I want to go to Istanbul too, but I think Id have to live on the street for a month to afford it.
