Bananas, dates, nuts, etc.
What a crazy, stressful city! When we first arrived it took very little time for our driver to get hopelessly lost in the maze of streets (especially without his co-driver who stayed back in Rabat to pick up our visas). He hired a couple of local teens to direct us to our hotel which was right off the main square Djemma el Fna. This is where the action is. The square is full of entertainers, scammers, snake charmers, etc. It was fairly quiet during the day, but it really came alive at night. You had to be on your toes at all times to avoid getting hit by the scooters that were constantly zipping through.

The internet here is pretty fast and reasonably easy to locate internet cafes around. So we thought we would take advantage of it, and update everyone with news of how we're doing etc. Hence all the entries all at once.

With three nights here we also took advantage of the opportunity to get all of our laundry washed. Clean clothes! They don't last long but it's always nice to have.
