It's beautiful here in Tangier, but I'm getting tired of the constant heat. It's nice to go swimming, though, even if the local men hissing is bothersome. They hiss at Zakuro, too, but only at the pool; when she's dressed in her normal outfit, I don't think they realize she's a girl. I don't know why; she is very developed for her age, almost more than me. Maybe it's because she's so tall....
Rufus is cranky. He doesn't like being kept inside. Looking back, I probably should have left him with the house staff back in Napoli. Perhaps I could send him back there sometime during the night... I wonder how far it is back to Napoli. I never pay attention during travel.
I've gotten some great gifts for my friend back at school! I think everyone's going to really like them! Morocco has some of the most beautiful cloth things. I bought a couple long skirts for me to wear in public, since I'm not allowed to wear my mini-skirts here. I snuck out of the hotel once in one last year, and some boys started throwing rocks at me. Then I hit one of them with Excaliborg, and then there was a huge to-do with the Muggle authorities; lo Zio had to talk to a bunch of people about it, eventually they let me go 'cause they couldn't prove anything. But now I'm not allowed to leave the hotel without an escort and a long skirt.
I can't wait to go back to school, or at least back to Napoli. I even want to seen Milan again; I got an owl from Zanzu, he's in Milan again! Apparently he's working with some Muggle arts industry, very chic. He says he can get me a job, if I can provide some sort of ID stating that I'm 17. That would be fun!
Oh, and one of the boys staying in the hotel is from Japan; his family had some interesting traditions involving the beach and watermelon. I like watermelon, so I was happy to participate! Look, he took my picture!
He was really nice. It's too bad about him getting a bloody nose and having to run off. Maybe he has one of those bleeding diseases. I hope he's ok.
