I spent last weekend in Tangier, so now it’s time to reflect. Of all the cities I’ve visited, Tangier is easily among the most beautiful (from many rooftops, you can see Spain across the Mediterranean), and certainly has lots to do (I never actually got to the one place I had planned on going because there was so much to see in the old city), that said, Tangier is an incredibly tourist-y city, which meant near constant hassling by locals, the thing I hate most about traveling in Morocco. The night I arrived, the man who led me to the hotel proceeded to show me to a restaurant where I ate a decent meal, then found out that meal cost $30, after which my waiter to me to his uncles’ shops, where I had to spend half an hour convincing two different men that my mother didn’t need a new carpet. Saturday wasn’t quite as bad, but was similar, and Sunday I came back on the bus and pretty much slept all day.
Upon returning, I discovered that I had left my laptop charger in the hotel room, which is great. I’ve sent a Facebook message to the hotel ( I can’t find an email or phone number; they don’t even have a website) with hopes they can mail it to Fes, but I’m not optimistic. I think I can get a replacement at the mall here, but it will be for European sockets, meaning I’d have to another new cord when I returned to the US. If I don’t post in the next couple of days, it’s probably because the hotel got back to me and I blew my battery watching Star Trek (TNG), so I have to wait on the Moroccan mail system. Otherwise, who knows what I’ll do. It might just be best to wait out the remaining two weeks sans laptop rather than s[ending another $20 on a laptop charger I’ll only ever use for two weeks.
