obviously if you are looking at the date, it in no way reflects when I actually did these things, or even wrote them down, but hey, summer happened. and for anyone that knows what a greensboro summer is like, computers are just not a part of it.
however, that being said, i don't like to leave things incomplete. and so i must include the last few stops on my global trot. London, Morocco, and Southern Spain....
London: I stayed with a friend of mine, who unfortunately was busy and had to work most of the time, but I also got to meet up with a friend and my former RA boss from Hopkins. It was great. As I had already hit up the main tourist sites the last time I was in london in 2005, and i only had a few days, this time I just enjoyed walking around different areas, attending the evening song in westminster abbey, and seeing a shakespeare play in the famous globe theater before jetting off to my next destination...

Morocco: I traveled with my cousin Laura (who was in Morocco for a month prior), her fiance Noel, my cousin Sara, and her husband Ed. It was an amazing trip during which we saw quite a lot of morocco considering we only had 10 days. We started in Marrakesh for a couple days, then drove for a day across southern Morocco and through the mountains until we reached the Todra Gorge which was beautiful, then drove north for a day to Fez, which was very sophisticated and bustling, then drove for about half a day to Chefchaouen (one of the blue cities), before heading to tangier to catch the ferry to southern spain. Each place was so different and it was very interesting to experience the cities, the mountains, and see a lot of the landscape (though I would have loved to experience more of the rural areas like Laura was able to for a whole month because the cities were overly tourist oriented).

Southern Spain (Tarifa, Sevilla, Ronda): Tarifa was extremely windy but absolutely beautiful for the half of the day we were there as a group and then we split up and I went to Sevilla where, though very pretty, was way too hot for me! (46C). So that made sight seeing and exploring a little more difficult, especially since with the Spanish ciesta, everything was closed from about 11-6pm everyday. open from like 9-11am and then 6pm-whenever in the evening. But it just gave me all the more reason to go visit Ronda which is up in the mountains and was slightly cooler. Famed as one of the white cities with a cool bridge it was very nice for just relaxing, which I did with Megan, a girl I met from Australia.

The flight back to Austria was beautiful, I flew over Ibiza, Majorca (stopping in La Palma airport), and Menorca. But I was more then ready to be getting back to way below boiling temperatures.
