Morocco

Here is the post I saved on my iPad first before posting from the internet cafe plus some updates :

I am in Morocco!

I left the UK on the 20th and said goodbye to Alison from the bed and breakfast:




I met my group at the airport and there are 18 of us now (most are in their 20's or 30's). They are 10 different nationalities among us and everyone is great! Quite the characters but still wonderful ;) Nancy is our leader and Steve is our driver.

We met for the first time, Nala (from the Lion King), our truck:





Steve has kindly nicknamed me Baby because one, I am the youngest, two, there are two Annas and an Ann, and three, I remind him of Baby from Dirty Dancing.

We walked around Gibraltar while we were still in Europe:



Now we are in Rabat Morocco. For the past three days we have split up and explored the city. I've gone to the old part of the city, Medina, the new chic part that is where all the government buildings are, and drank Moroccan mint tea by the Atlantic Ocean.

Now will be day 5 with no shower. Yay baby wipes! :)

Bush camping, which is camping in any part of a clearing or forest we can find (so not a designated camping park), again tonight. Tomorrow night we may find some showers as we head towards Casablanca.

Wow, long post! But wait, there's more!!

The weather here has been mostly really nice. In the day it's been in the 70's and at night it gets rather cold but we've built a roaring fire that we both cook on and use to keep warm. It has rained a couple of times but only during the night. The first time I was trying to put up my tent it was pouring and pitch dark! All in all, I'm sure it's better weather than Washington ;-). Muahaha!

Last night for Thanksgiving (there are 3 Americans) we have veggie noodle stir fry with turkey. Not exactly the traditional meal but turkey none the less!

Salam!
