A day later Shawn finally stops throwing up and he says that he feels a lot better than before. He's parking the car in the parking lot and gives the parking lot security a big tip before taking my hand in his. 

We walked through Fez today but I decided I wanted to go to Meknès instead. We got in the car and left Fez. It was only a fifty-minute drive before we arrived in Meknès.

Shawn and I walk through the city and end up at a big plaza with a big market. I see a man holding a snake and I pull at Shawn's hand, running in the man's direction.

'You're not holding a snake.' Shawn says.

'Watch me.'

I talk to the man and within seconds I have a big white-yellow snake around my neck. He tells me that it's an albino granite Burmese python. It's not poisonous but when it gets bigger it could kill a person by strangling them. 

Shawn stares at me and whispers a couple of times that I need to get it off of me. I laugh and continue talking to the friendly man.

'Don't worry. It grew up with me and my family and it won't try to kill anyone.' The man says to Shawn with a big smile.

'Shawn, can you please take a picture?' I ask, handing him my phone.

I smile while holding the snake and when the man steps away I ask him if he wants to take a picture with me. He blushes and takes a step closer, putting the hat he is wearing on my head, making me look even more awesome.

When Shawn is done taking the picture he hands me my phone again. I carefully hold the snake and lift it off of me. I point it and Shawn and he takes a step away from me, watching every move that I make.

'Thank you so much.' I say when I hand the man his money.

'Have a good night!' He says, putting the snake around his neck again.

'That was fucking awesome!' I say, grabbing Shawn's hand like a little girl.

'You are crazy.' He shakes his head.

We continue walking around the amazingly big market. We buy food, souvenirs, clothes and a lot of other nice things. Shawn and I keep taking pictures at all the places we like. I send most of them to my dad and Lucifer.

"The only snake around my neck is Adriana." Lucifer texts me with a picture of Adriana hugging him.

I chuckle and put my phone away. Shawn and I continue walking and stop at a restaurant. We order food and talk about our favourite things from this trip so far. 

Later that night we drive back to Fez and decide to leave for Rabat, the capital city of Morocco.

Two hours later we arrive and book a room at the Sofitel hotel close to the city centre.

'Wow, it's beautiful here.' I say running to the balcony.

'I have noticed that you've got this ritual every time we arrive at a new hotel.' Shawn says while I slide the door open, stepping into the fresh air.

'And what is that?' I ask, looking at the massive front garden of the hotel.

The lights of the city shine in the night, like most cities, but somehow I get consumed by them. I could be staring at this for the rest of the night.

'The moment we arrive at a hotel with a view you run to the balcony.' He says, putting his hands next to mine on the safety rails.

'I like views.' I say, wrapping my arm around his waist.
