Eating whole fish is not always healthy

So since I got a new computer you now that I'm doing a semester in Lisbon.  Its really awesome; so many travel opportunities...I got to go to Morocco for spring break which was the most unplanned, craziest and probably the dirtiest adventure I've had.  Atleast in Malawi we slept under a mosquito net and had some sort of gameplan.  Morocco was just chaos.  Trekking throughout the whole country, desert as well as coast, with surf boards, no language and no where to sleep.  Fortunately there were markets where we could afford to buy some bread and cheese (basically all we lived off of for 9 days).  So when the opportunity arose to eat some fried fish, I learned post ingestion that I ate the entire fish, heads included haha.  Although I didn't get sick I was surprised to find that my insides weren't torn apart my fish skeletons. 

Marrakesh was probably one of my favorites, snake charmers, snail stands and entrepreneurs selling teeth, yes human teeth.  We met some British hitchhikers there and crashed with them for a few nights on the roof of a building near the main square.th_n11520014_37431035_2008719-11.jpgBut after a week in a country where alcohol is illegal, we were ready to get our hands on some Spanish wine.  What we did not consider was that on our 16 hr bus ride back to Portugal there were few opportunites to utilize the facilities.  In short, while Owen was peeing into a bottle he missed and peed on the only jacket I had.  Haha I guess thats what I get for losing the bus tickets huh?!
