In case you missed the warnings, this is my travels from Monday the 11th. I should have written down the day. Now, I have to think back on it. Give me a moment to collect my thoughts. While I do, here is a photo I took during our trip:
This was the sight for the 4 hours between Ifrane and Casablanca. People here drive terrible. Quick, reckless. The livestock is everywhere. Bottom line... I don't know how we didn't smear a cow across the toll road on our journey to Casa. For that matter, I don't know how we didn't end up off the road driving through the fields. After cruising through Rabat, we headed south and finally got into Casablanca. Traffic is atrocious here. Must have taken 50 minutes to go 10 miles. I barely jest.
The hotel is pretty nice though. Except for the obvious problem that we all noticed immediately. The wi-fi is practically non-existent. Not sure how business people get anything done. Hopefully it will be fixed soon (sort of like I can see the future on this one, huh?).
We went out to the medina today just for a quick walk-around and some shopping. Everyone found something they were looking for, I think. The thing is, it wasn't everything they were looking for. Not to worry. Pretty sure there is more time for shopping on Friday and Saturday. We headed to the coast after shopping.
I could not believe the waves breaking here. Sort of looked like down at Bondi. Half the crew wanted to get onto the beach and go in the water. It got dark. It got cold. It got late. It got to be a bad idea, so that was skipped. I'm sure we will head there again too before the week is out. Thing is, these things that keep getting pushed back may be building up to the point where we never get them in. Ah, well. We will just have to wait and see.
I'm not sure where all the restaurants are around here, but I think it was 9pm before we had us something to eat. Ended up at a French shop for some pretty tasty sandwiches. I was glad they were still serving because I was starved and grumpy. Food made all the difference, but it was once again late when we got back and it was going to be an early morning.
Today's side note: My spelling. I looked back over a lot of these posts this past year, and I see there are errors. I have no intention of changing them. That is more work than I care to do. I see I have a spellcheck on this, so my plan is to start using it. We'll see if it makes anydiferance. difference.
