Anyone who has been following my blog may have been disappointed by the lack of a concluding post. Well, better late than never, so here it is.
Our final week was spent in Marrakesh, the urban cultural heart of Morocco. Many of the events that filled these last days have already begun to fade into imperfect recollections ... this is less likely because they were unremarkable than they have been overshadowed by the grand finale that has since dominated my memories.
After an (admittedly tiring) 5 month existence as dirty and penny-pinching nomads, we treated ourselves to two final nights of comfort in the trendy, yet thoroughly Moroccan Riad Akka. We celebrated our last night with a deliciously extravagant dinner complete with Moroccan wine and belly dancers. Unbeknownst to me, the night's highlight (actually, the trip's highlight to be precise) was yet to come. Back at the riad, Russell concluded the night with a question that stunned me through and through and flooded me with girly, giddy excitement with the thought of a lifetime together.
So if you haven't yet figured it out, we are engaged!!!!
