... that we really didn’t know where the train station was and took a cab.  The dirham (Moroccan currency) is about 8 dirhams=1$.  None of us had any dirhams for the cab driver, but he gladly took 2 dollar bills.  We got on the train to Fez and it ended up taking 5 hours. It was the slowest moving train with so many stops.
