Waxing and waning,.but mostly just waxing

I´m so sorry to have kept you all in suspence for so long. I swear i never meant for this to happen. Forgive me?
Well, the rumours are true. Wait. Depending on which rumours you have heard. Yes. I have been in Morocco for the past 2 weeks or so staying with the greatest host ever. Okay. He´s definitely in the top 2. And hosts and hostess´are in seperate categories by the way. But an amazing host just the same. He speaks arabic fluently enough to explain a particularly complex south park episode to someone who has never seen it, he arranges arabic lessons so that we too might one day be able to explain south park episodes, he leads us swiftly through the labrynth of the medina and intruduces us to generous families who assualt us with food and hospitality. I might be the only person to return from Africa a little heavier than when i left home.
It has been quite an adventure. I drank tea with nomads, successfuly haggled, got my first pedicure and wax, discovered a piece of someone elses fingernail in a mouth full of yogurt and many other magical things that cannot be shared for fear of making them less magical and stuff.
right now I´m in the middle of a two day layover in my former stomping grounds of Barcelona. By stomping grounds I mean place I stayed for about a month 3 years ago because I was somewhat drunk and therefor could not come up with a clear exit strategy. I hope to be wiser this time. I hope to be able to defend myself from the cruel and merciless euro and stay away from the powerful vortex of falafels and debauchery.
Tomorrow I´m off to Croatia and possibly Bosnia depending on if i feel like being on a bus for 5 hours and navigating a new city.
I will try to keep my mountain of adoring fans updated. I want you all to know that i deeply appreciate your loyal fanship.
