Recently, some friends and I decided to visit Morocco for the weekend. From Madrid, we took a train to a bus to a boat to a bus. Traveling with a tourism company, our two days were filled with the stereotypical Moroccan experience we had anticipated. We rode camels on the beach and had our arms painted with henna tattoos. We ate lunch in a palace where a man danced with candles on his head and visited an old medicine shop where we bought bottles of Moroccan oil—“For shiny, shiny hair!” Or so, the vendor promised us. We strolled through the streets of a city painted entirely in blue, as if we were in some wacky Dr. Seuss book and we bartered in incense-scented shops. We obeyed our guides, drinking only bottled water, never leaving the hotels at night.
If this year’s United States of America were a couple, November would be the month it decided to break up and then two weeks later, get back together. Today—Thanksgiving—is the day it attempts to make up.
We may have been thousands of miles away from our homeland but we were united with our fellow Americans: awaiting the results of the election Tuesday night; in a small living room in some college kids' apartment in Madrid, a group of about 40 students sat huddled in front of the television. Empty bottles of tinto de verano and rioja littered the table, as did half-eaten baguettes and open packages of jamón serrano. When I showed up around midnight (6 p.m. EST), the atmosphere was fiesta-like. Students arrived with boxes of pizza and threw around chocolate ice cream pops like confetti. The air buzzed with nervous anticipation. One girl came in with a box of Clinton-Kaine shirts for her friends. Spanish students periodically floated into the room, asking: "¿Qué pasó?¨ “What happened?”
Suppose you took a road trip across Spain. You'd drive past an impressive array of geography—wild rivers, cliffs towering above the ocean, metropolitan cities, beachy resort towns, mountain ranges, arid plateaus, lush valleys. For a country that can fit inside the United States 19 times, Spain certainly rivals the U.S.'s topographic diversity.
When Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton walked onstage Sunday night and refused to shake hands—which they were still civil enough to do last time—I knew the debate would be abominable.
For many people, the Alhambra conjures images of moonlit courtyards on star-studded nights where fountains trickle and the scent of orange blossoms wafts through the air. After two visits to this Andalusian palace, I can certify that it is indeed a vision straight out of “Aladdin”—although I have yet to see any blue genies or flying carpets. On my second visit there, I did notice something else surprising: irony.
The tram car rattled as it lurched to another stop. It was our first morning in Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon looks strikingly similar to San Francisco—there are old-fashioned cable cars, though slightly more dilapidated than those in the Bay Area, steep hills overlooking bright blue water and a red suspension bridge—its own Golden Gate—that connects the two sides of the city. I almost forgot I was in Portugal and not in the U.S., overlooking the Pacific rather than the Atlantic.
One evening not long ago, at a recent family vacation by the beach, my grandmother, cousin and I lay sprawled out on a bed, mesmerized by my computer screen. We were watching “Mermaids: The Body Found,” a documentary about how the government hides the existence of mermaids from the public. Our necks craned and our eyes wide, we listened as the marine biologists explained “aquatic ape theory,” played incredibly intricate sonar recordings of an unknown, underwater species and spoke of Southeast Asian divers who can hold their breath for twenty minute intervals. There were holes in the scientists’ evidence but their argument managed to convince us anyway—me, a Duke University student, my pre-med cousin and our grandmother who started college at 16 years old.
