I suppose if you’re reading this you want to know about my twenty first birthday fun. Well, the thing that I love about Morocco is that there really isn’t a very large party scene. (Yes, I said I love that fact—it’s beyond nice to be away from that) This is mostly because this is a [...]

You know, it’s interesting that whenever I think about henna I think about fancy designs that are redish-brown in color. Henna, in Morocco, is actually a little different.
