And I thought my Arabic was bad--5+ years of Spanish apparently was unhelpful in my travels to Southern Spain a few weekends ago! I think one of the most important things I'm learning about traveling so much is just the value of language and communication. Stay in school, kids...and pay attention in your Spanish class.
Going through 99,000,000+ photos was not easy (given that the quality of the photos are also hella horrible because my camera battery was left behind in the USA #whoops and I was left with the 5 megapixels on the replacement "phone" I bought off the blackmarket in Casablanca...so "not easy" is quite the understatement--it was painful). Nonetheless, a bit of editing got the photos from 5 megapixels to 6...enjoy! ;)
P.S. T-16 days until Iranian New Years (Nowruz)! Expect an exciting giveaway in the works!
A few more photos have been published on my Instagram (@hodakatebi), as well as my earlier/later travels around Morocco!

I do (mostly) speak Spanish so I've always wanted to travel to Spain. After seeing these photos, I still do! Cheap phone cameras can be painful to use, but I bet you feel so accomplished with the pictures that did turn out well!

hahah it definitely helped that Spain was so photogenic! I don't know what I would have done otherwise! I really enjoyed Spain, and I think you would enjoy it even more if you can speak Spanish! Really, buy your tickets now!!

yes!! Going to the mosque/cathedral in Cordoba had been on my bucket list ever since I studied it in art history a few years ago--and let me tell you--you really must see it in person! Textbooks obviously don't do the place justice!
ReplyDeleteYou sure picked gorgeous photos from your big collection! Lo me gusta mucho? That's about as much as I can remember from my Spanish classes :)

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd haha better than me! Because I've been learning Arabic and have been spending so much time in Arabic, I kept mixing Arabic with my little Spanish, which you can just imagine how well that went down!
