Moroccan Adventure

Tomorrow at 10:20 AM I'm going to be on a different planet, I mean different continent. Friends, I'm headed to Morocco, Africa for two weeks. And I have no idea what to expect.

I hear that you have to bargain for EVERYTHING. I'm picturing myself standing in line at the grocery store, bargaining with the cashier, trying to get my peanuts and crackers for 15 cents less. I look forward to this. I also hear that the desert, although hot during the day, gets really really cold at night. This is news to me. I think I'll bring a sweatshirt. That's about all I know of Morocco. Oh, and that they have really high unemployment rates so everyone just kind of hangs out all day. This sounds nothing like America. And I like it.

We found a Moroccan girl on Couchsurfing.com that we'll be traveling with during our stay. She seems really nice and really bored, a perfect combination for showing us around. She has a car so we'll be able to see much more than by public transport. I think we'll be staying with her family and friends she has there. Now I know what you're thinking, "She's actually a creepy old man that's going to sell us for a goat and camel". I can assure you that Couchsurfing.com is safe and this won't happen. Besides he could probably get an elephant thrown in the deal too.

All I know is that I'm riding one of these babies. And if he spits on me.... I'm spittin' back!
