Made it to Fez!

Made it to Fes by way of flight from Dublin, Madrid, and Casablanca then a train to Fes. (im done capitalizing and using any grammar of punctuation now... im using an french stlye keyboard and all of the keys are out of order. imagine throwing all your keys in a sack, dumping them on the ground, then trying to type. forgive me until my computer is fixed.
i decided to take a train to fez instead of the flight because i ran into a group of students in madrid from yale going to a school called Alif. i had a strong gut feeling that i should travel with them instead of taking my flight... good thing i did... still today there is a group of 15+ students missing because of cancelled flights (including mine).
the night in fes we accidently did something stupid. we were coaxed into a diner to have dinner... turned out to be a brothel. DONT WORRY. im alive to tell about it. they applauded when we left. the back room was guarded and had masked belly dancers/strippers going in and out. needless to say ive been ,ore careful about dining since then.
the food is certainly....different. last night in Ifrane we had *chicken* (im not sure how to describe it other than i dont think it was clean and thank you Mom for forcing that Hep A).
the university is GORGEOUS and very very modern. its in the middle of the atlas mountains, dry air and very cool at night. the villager of ifrane has its safe and sketchy areas. the village itself is rustic and serene. today we are going on a hike to the waterfalls that we saw in a postcard. ill posts pictures as soon as my computer situation is figured out. IT opens on Monday.
for now all i can say is i love it here and im having the time of my life!

a note__im a little nervous because the group im with is comprised of yale, harvard, and brown students. all of them have at leqst 1 year of arabic background and some have three.

more to come!
