I just recently re-watched The Hobbit, and one of my favorite scenes from the film is the one where Bilbo Baggins runs through the beautiful Shire yelling, "I'm going on an adventure!"
Tomorrow, I leave for my own adventure, although I'm not off to fight a dragon or reclaim a dwarven kingdom like Bilbo. No, tomorrow I leave for Lyon, and by Monday morning, I will be wandering around Morocco with my friend Bridget.
Morocco! I've always wanted to go, and Bridget and I had discussed traveling there at some point during our year abroad, but that was way back in August while we were fresh and new to France, and anyways it was always something of a pipe dream for the both of us. We never actually thought it would work out! But everything has fallen into place, and soon the two of us will be off! I'm excited and nervous and thrilled all rolled into one powerful emotion that has me hopping up and down in anticipation of this adventure. We have ironed out a pretty awesome itinerary, and I'm just hoping that we don't hit any snags along the way.
Unfortunately, we'll only have about four days in Morocco (Bridget has to be in Oslo by Friday and my parents--understandably--didn't want me staying an extra day or two alone). But hopefully four days will be enough for a good taste of the country! So, until next weekend, I'll be away on an adventure. Until next time!
