Golden Tulip Farah Casablanca

... We arrived in Marrakesh around 6pm, and this is where the rest of this journal entry could be entitled “Coins, Cards, and Codes!” For the first (and LAST!) time this trip, we had not secured accommodations for our time in Marrakesh (we had emailed a few places last week, but never heard back from them). Little did we know that November is STILL the HIGH SEASON in Morocco. (You can guess where this is going, right?) Long story short, I sat in the train ...

... met. If I get mad at my dog Kelly, for shedding too much hair, or urinating on the rug, or throwing up....remind me how much I miss her when I'm away from her for a month. If I speak unkindly about Wisconsin's snow, cold, conservativeness (at times) and lack of ______ (insert numerous things), assure me there is still "no place like home."

But, i gotta tell you, my French does become amazingly clear when i'm in the cafes -- "cafe au ...

... we didn't have enough money to buy from this one guys store. He got pretty upset but I really was out of Moroccan money since we were leaving in a few hours and was only in the shop because Nkoyo wanted to try and find a watch. That encounter kind of ended my desire to shop or look around anymore in the Medina so we took a taxi back to the port to avoid getting drenched again and the intense Moroccan merchants.

... of many taxicab adventures, in this case with a metered cab that refused to acknowledge us when we repeatedly asked why the meter wasn't running. We got to the hotel and he asked for the extortionate amount of 60 DM, and we gave him 30 DM and pointed out the lack of using the meter. Of course, this was also one of many times when we would deny a financial request but end up paying more than we should anyway, which continually left a bad taste in the mouth.

... quite a few high-rise apartments in a range of states of repair. As we walked we saw very few tourists where we travelled we figured we were a little off the tourist map! This of course resulted in quite a few eye's following us as we walked around, and our spider senses being armed to alert us to any streets we shouldn't walk down. By the end of the first day we had exhausted our exploration of the ``new'' Casablanca, saving our exploration of the Medina and Mosque to the next ...

... sobrado dos 10 dh da manhã anterior. Fui e dei-lhe toque e desliguei. A primeira alegria foi ter-me sido devolvida a moeda intacta, a segunda foi o telefone ter tocado quase imediatamente a seguir e eu ter podido finalmente ouvir a voz da minha menina. Tinha muitas saudades. Dei-lhe o num do telemovel do Driss e ela ligou-me. Depois de lhe ter contado o maximo que consegui, pedi que me ligasse à minha mamã para lhe dar os parabéns. Assim foi feito. Eu sabia ...
