Gouda's Cheesewheel

Morocco April 20th

Hello my not-near but still dear ones,

Today I write from Essouira, where I've been for roughly 2 and a half days. The 7-hour bus trip here was atrocious, though it would have been less so had I thought ahead and packed some food. I was fortunate enough to sit next to a friendly person who shared a sandwich with me (I repayed him with a banana). My friend Hassan got me a good deal on a room since he knows the woman who owns the house. There's even a kitchen for communal use, and last night we used it to make a tiny tagine. It was delicious, even if it was made with a tin pan over a gas stove instead of real earthenware. I've been reading my few books and hoping for the opportunity to talk to people about their weddings. Today maybe I'll ask Hassan if I can talk to his sister. In any case that's my little blurb. I'd send pictures but I'm too shy to plug things into this computer. Need to get going after I check in with Youness so he knows I'm alive (every 48 hours we're supposed to give some indication). Take care everyone. I miss you so much I think I might have to go cry a little bit.
