So two Americans and two Kuwaitis walk on a train
Well I guess its election day here in Morocco. Not that I could tell from anything or anyone in Morocco, but because CNN told me so as I pulled up their website. Other than a peaceful demonstration the night that I arrived in Rabat, nothing has seemed out of the ordinary in this foreign land.
