Schedule: I Love Hip Hop Morocco & On Board time 1800

Today was my last day in Casablanca, Morocco and I was determined to go out and have some fun. I had yet actually been out in the town walking around because I planned so many other trips. However I had heard that I wasn’t missing too much. So after breakfast my friends and I decided to go out and visit the souks in Casablanca. It was okay. It wasn’t everything that I thought it would be however, I am really happy that I went out and experienced more of the town and culture.

Again, the blonde hair got the best of me. Boys were making the kissing noises and ooo la la’s at me. So frustrating. But I didn’t let it get the best of me. I enjoyed the day. We ended up finding internet at a local hotel but only Sara had her computer. I wish that I would have known that yesterday because I would have went out and uploaded some photographs for you all. Having limited Internet is definitely a bust.

We headed back to the boat (ship) and made our way on board. The security level at this port was a level 2 so we had to undergo a little more extensive search and seizure of our belongings. I think that by now all the staff know me and realize that I have a pacemaker so I get to go around the metal detector now much more easily. But all the girls and all the boys still get a pat down just to be on the safe side.

As the boat finally headed out at 2000 the sun had already set. It was beautiful outside. You could see the Hassan II Mosque all lit up and the green laser beam facing meca. It was fantastic. However it was quite difficult to take a photograph because (a) it was dark and (b) the boat was moving. I will upload some photographs as soon as I get the chance. Thanks for following. Now I am off to do some schoolwork and some sleep.
