Faraway Places

[squirmelia]

New and cool experiences so far in 2006 include:
Receiving a postcard from Antarctica, complete with snow. (Thank-you ijuburyutsu!)

Marrakech is my destination in about a week and a half. Any recommendations for: trips into the desert, food (vegetarian), good places to take photos?

You know someone on Antarctica? Which base are they on? I may need to use them to win a bet.

ooooh Antarctica! I want to go there. I've already camped north of the Arctic circle, now I want to camp in the Antarctic! Wooo cold!

Not been to Marrakech. I must start planning my holidays this year. I've been way too disorganized so far.

Antarctica is one of the places on my list of places I most want to go to (the other is the Amazon). One of my main 'things to do before I die' items is to go ice-diving off Antarctica,

antarctica! ooh.

take pictures of chickens.


as for trips into the desert.

I prefer trips to the dessert.

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

It may well be possible to eat dessert in the desert or the desert while in the dessert.

[misterjesus.livejournal.com]

my head asplode.


my your looking quite the thing in that picture!

Into the desert or the dessert?

I am looking quite pixelated in that picture, it is true.

hey now,


you know it gets me hot when you talk geek at me.


I'm quite upset that I missed that outfit :(

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

I borrowed the wig, I admit.

[misterjesus.livejournal.com]

oh just ruin my fantasy why don't you!

[ijuburyutsu.livejournal.com]

You got it! I was worried there for a while. Yours made it down to South Pole, muddy footprint and all. Thanks!

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

It actually appeared a few weeks ago - I was just slow to mention it, sorry! The muddy footprint is made from genuine southern England mud and my foot.

e-mai list for vegetarians in Africa (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ivu-africa/)... I couldn't find any vegetarian restaurants in Morocco on Happy Cow.net, at VegDining.org I found one "partially vegetarian" in Tangiers.

Looks interesting. Thanks for the info!

Marrakech

no but I am hauuming that song for you by Simon and Grafunkle

My mother and half-brother are going to Marrakech and Fez next month, so I was rather hoping you'd come on the goods on where to go. Surely you must have some eccentric guidebooks?

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

I have some guidebooks and a Moroccan Arabic phrasebook, I admit.

This is an important word: "left". It means "turnip". :)

لفت

[solitarywalker.livejournal.com]

Aww, i want to go...

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

I'll attempt to haggle for a postcard to send you at least.

[criesbella.livejournal.com]

xoxo, a/nyc

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've only ever been out of Europe once before, so it should be interesting.

[misterjesus.livejournal.com]

have you considered going to iceland?

and I don't mean to buy frozen goods.

[squirmelia.livejournal.com]

Iceland, yes, I did consider going there, but this time of year the amount of daylight is not very high and thus most things would probably be closed.

[misterjesus.livejournal.com]

they do have kick ass hot springs, and stupidly expensive beer!

Have a happy holiday

Sorry I've been such a stranger... been a little busy.
