Fan and I got up at 5:30 to catch the train to Marrakesh this morning. I couldn’t find the clothes I gave my host mom to clean yesterday, so I have one t-shirt and one sweater. Fan forgot the bag of snacks he bought for the train ride, so we didn’t eat until 3:30. Plus, my cd-drive wouldn’t play the DVD’s I got at the ALIF library yesterday. Packing is hard.
When we finally arrived, we went to a Chinese restaurant at Fan’s request. I was given a two-page French menu; Fan received a small novel of a menu in Chinese. The Chinese are hiding some of their foods from us. We need to get some white people on this immediately. I had Fan order for me off his menu and it was delicious.
The hotel is surprisingly nice for being hidden in an alleyway that you have to duck to walk through. I think we’re the only people staying here, so the woman at the front desk moved us to a bigger room which was cool. Also she made us tea. And we get breakfast tomorrow. For $26 a night.
That said, while we were drinking tea, a seagull took a shit on my one t-shirt. That wasn’t cool.
We waited for an hour after the fast was broken, and then wandered the streets in search of food. It took half an hour, but we eventually found a place with no menu or prices, where we were led to a table and given food. It was as delicious as it was sketchy, which is to say, very.
