... there and hand it over to you! ewwwwwwwww Luckily we walked fast enough by it that I missed the murdering. 

He then proceeded to take us to SO many shops.  He would take us into a store and the owner would give us an entire tour and show us exactly how everything was made and then try to sell things. First we went to the rug store which had BEAUTIFUL rugs that would go for a lot in the US and were about 2000$ or less here but tooo expensive for us college kids ...

... expectations. Tres bien! We also visited a bank today, and a "baby shower," that apparently is close to an all-day affair here. There was three bands, dancing, food...crazy stuff! It was wild, and WAY different. I'm so used to everyone gathering around the mom-to-be, ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the 1,000,000th one-sie and rattle that they open. :) There was none of this today, and it was fun.

... for the original Arab part of any Moroccan town. And a souk is a market or bazaar. Also Kasbah (as in "Come with me to the Kasbah") simply means the fortified part of the city. Have a GREAT Cruise! Susan M.Aries- San Francisco - Our Private guide Said: Casablanca is Morocco's largest and most modern city. Before the French began to develop it as the country's economic capital in 1912, Casa-as Casablanca is commonly called-was only a small trading post. Its subsequent ...

... is a religious studies major with an emphasis in Hinduism who is African American, from Tennessee and goes to UVA. Ashley is half Korean, lived in Japan for sixteen years, and is now living in San Diego with her sister while her parents are still in Japan. I have really enjoyed talking to them and just learning from their experiences since our backgrounds are pretty different. We went to bed relatively early with the intent of getting up early the next morning to shop.

... rapids which flowed between huge cliffs. We ate tangine (a local dish of chicken, potatoes, onions, carrots, peas, and yummy spices) and bread, and then took a quick walk along the water. At the top, I discovered Dad (who had gone ahead) had made some new friends, and was trying to negotiate a good deal to sell me off to one of the men. Luckily I found out I'm worth too many camels for that man to afford, so instead we left him with a nice cute little photograph of my little ...

... find another fresh food, then clothing etc. We did have a talent in finding the location of the fresh meat areas (by fresh, I mean seeing cattle heads sitting on the benches and at one point we followed a man who had two goat-heads hanging off this bicycle handle bars!) Shellie did very well in dealing with all of this I must say!However, aside from the ``fresh meat'', we also found ample fresh vegetable and fruit markets. We were happy as we had found markets the locals use ...

... mim de maneira estranha e resolvi meter o polegar de fora, sem esperança nenhuma, so pensando em sair da cidade e adentrar-me pela estrada nacional para encontrar um bom sitio para meter a minha tenda. Depois de meia horita de caminhada passa por mim um autocarro que me da o sinal da massa (o acariciar de polegar com indicador). Eu respondi também automaticamente fazendo o mesmo gesto seguido pelo do polegar invertido sinalizando « tou liso ! ». Para meu ...

... built in the 1930's. It has absolutely nothing in it but some pretty stained glass windows. I decided to climb to the top of the spire - all the while trying to avoid the pigeons, the poo and getting poo-ed on! One pigeon came out of his hidey-hole and scared the poo out of me! At the top (I kept clapping the whole way up the stairs to scare the birds away) I was rewarded with fantastic views of Casablanca ...

... a swiss skiing village. All the building and houses looked european and cute. There was no snow, as its summer here now, but it was still very odd looking and un-moroccain. Right after that we stopped off at this forrest where the only monkeys native to northern africa live. They were cute but nothing too special as we've seen loads of monkeys on this trip. One of our favorite places was Fes. We wandered around the old medina (old city) which we needed a ...

Our main surprise of the day is the discovery that our London Healthrow flight to Marrakesh will detour through Casablanca. The plane touched down for a meer half an hour before continuing the further one hundred miles to Marrakesh. Normally, I'm the kind of person that loves to fly but during the flight I was seated in front of a four or five year old boy who insisted on kicking the back of my chair. Now, I'm too much of a wimp to turn around and give him a ...
