The above sentence has become somewhat of a slogan on this trip… There is just no way to keep our backpack´s worth of clothes smelling fresh between nights at the bar, and days in the sun. We have dubbed our packs “The Fresheners” because I had the presence of mind to stuff several fabric sheets among our clothes when I was packing. That definitely has helped… But some days we just have to roll with it, put on our smokey clothes and “air out, while we wear out”.
Today though is finally laundry day. And it came not a day too late. We decided to fly back to Madrid last night instead of wasting a day taking the train from Marrakech and then the ferry back into Spain. The flight was only marginally more expensive and we probably saved 10 hours. So now we have a free day to wash our clothes and just decompress from our time in Morocco. Madrid seems so sterile now… New and shiny. We both took really long showers in well pressurized and mostly hot water, had very meticulous shaves, and set out to the lavanderia with a pack full of dirty clothes. In about half an hour our transition will be complete!
I just wanted to wish my very dear friend, Maggie a very happy birthday today! I hope you are having an amazing day!
And I wanted to wish my friend Bridget the best of luck on her wedding today! I´m sure it will be wonderful and I wish you and Johnny a lifetime of happiness.
We will be celebrating these two momentous occasions tomorrow in Sevilla Spain. We´re heading there for their Feria De Abril which is one of the biggest festivals in Spain! It should be fun!
Love you!
