... was, and how strongly it smelled of sewage.<br><br>After an hour's wait in Casablanca, we boarded a second train for the roughly 3-hour ride to Marrakesh. We were told that the 2nd class cars had air conditioning and were nearly as good as 1st class, so we went with the 2nd class cars. Mistake! When the train pulled up, it was a chaotic free-for-all getting aboard and settling into a cabin (each seats about 8-10 &#8211; but really, four if you want to be ...

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long since my last update but I have been very busy. I am currently in Casablanca, Morocco and we are leaving in an hour to depart to Ghana. The overall trip to Ghana from Morocco will take roughly six days overseas. The bad part is I have class everyday we are at sea&#8230;<br><br>Morocco was an extreme difference from the US and was a huge culture shock. On top of all of ...

... only trying to get us to pay for a tour). We walked and managed to find the central markets and wandered through them. I loved all the things here - gorgeous pottery, timber boxes, ornate mirrors and frames, silver jewellery and plenty of leather bags and jackets. We decided not to buy anything yet as it would mean carrying it with us for the next 2 weeks. We found our hotel again, had a shower, change and rest, then went down and found an internet cafe ...

... describe my experience, but I cannot. I have some pretty amazing photos though. After that, we headed to Rick's Café for lunch... you know, the one based off of the movie, "Casablanca". I love, love, love that movie so I was stoked to go there. After lunch, we spent the remainder of our time in the market in Casablanca. The line to get back on the ship was so long because they were hand searching everyone for all of the alcohol people were attempting to bring back on the ...

... I guess my next entry will be from Parakou during that week. I have a sweet new laptop which does allow me to type up stuff now.

In Marrakech and Essouria the beggars mostly sat on the side of the path, hand out.As part of our wandering on the ...

... me deixou a assistir Canal Animaux no café da esquina enquanto eles iam rezar. Uma pergunta me assaltou o espirito : « sera que, quando nesse canal passam cenas sobre simios e como o homem evoluiu deles, eles mudam revoltados ? » Para os muçulmanos não ha meias medidas, foi deus que criou o homem e ponto final, so o nome da Eva muda, mas deve ser a sua remix arabesca « Awa ». O cha é fantastico, mas um bocado doce demais, eles metem icebergs de açucar la dentro ...

It is the second largest mosque in the world (after the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca). It stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic, which can be seen through a gigantic glass floor with room for 25,000 worshippers. A further 80,000 can be accommodated in the mosque's ...
