Typical Thursday in Jerez

Although the most popular nights to go out in Jerez are primarily Friday and Saturday nights, it has become a tradition among me and my friends to extend our weekends and go out on Thursdays as well.

Here is a glimpse into a typical Thursday night for me and my friends in Jerez at our favorite bar, Dama Juana!

A taste of Morocco

Last weekend was a long weekend in Spain with with holidays on Sunday and Tuesday, so I naturally took advantage of the time off and spent a long weekend with three other au pairs in Morocco.

We took a ferry from Algeciras to Tanger and spent two nights there in a nice hotel.

Sunday we took a taxi to another village nearby called Asilah and walked around there for the day.

Here is a glimpse into my experience, but I must say for me, the best parts of Morocco were not what I saw but what i tasted from the couscous to the mint tea, all of it was fabulous and of course I ate way too much for my own good!



Luckily nothing was stolen from us, nor were we stolen, as Morocco tends to have a reputation for, and as we were incredibly careful being four young girls in a foreign country, I can gladly say we had a safe and therefor enjoyable time!
