Tomorrow we get to wake up really, really early (what fun) to fly to Paris. So, while we\u2019ll still be in the land of French and escargot, at least we\u2019ll be away from couscous and tagine. You may be interested to know that we didn\u2019t have couscous or tagine today: instead, for supper we went to Caf\u00e9 Clock for the ninth and final time. Ethan had falafel (what else?), as did Dad, while Mom enjoyed her plate of tapas and I had a chickpea burger. For dessert, Mom and I split a chocolate souffl\u00e9 while Ethan devoured his orange-almond cake.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been in Morocco since March 22\u2014it\u2019s been twenty-four days. A relatively short time (especially compared to South Africa), but I think it was enough. Our landlord, Alami, thinks the opposite and told Dad this morning, while they were out working on mail and Ethan and Mom were at physical torture, that there was plenty we didn\u2019t do. That\u2019s true: while we did just about everything inside the medina, we didn\u2019t do much in Fez outside of it because it would have been too far to walk, and the taxis only legally fit three passengers.<\/p>\n
But we got to ride some lovely, cud-chewing camels, so it all worked out in the end, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Ciao!<\/p>\n
