I got there May 8th, flying back June 16th.
So, first up – the Sahara Desert. I got into Casablanca. I ate and sort of re-situated myself. And then I flew on out to Errachidia, where I met Mohammed.
Mohammed is my bff now.
He picked me up from the airport and drove me out to Sahara Sky Luxury Camp, that he and his brother own.
I think I was the only person there, because I didn’t see anyone else the whole time I was there.
The one embarrassing thing that happened was once we started driving in sand, so it was a fairly bumpy ride, I was catching up with some emails and stuff on my phone. (I am still in grad school, so I do have to still do some responsibilities at home.)
Anyway, between starting at the tiny blue screen in my hand and having this big ol’ bumpy ride, I had to ask him to stop the car so I could puke in the middle of the Sahara Desert.
It was gross, but also the Sahara Desert was lit up by brake lights, and that part looked kinda cool. (I took a picture of it, after puking so we can all enjoy it together!)
He offered to hold my hair. And we might be best friends now, but at the time, he was just some practical stranger. So, I’m okay on that.
And yeah, then I hopped back in the car. We went to the camp. I went to sleep. And I’ll pick up here tomorrow!
