Upon arriving on our train from Fes to Cas., our buddy Omar picked us up at the train station. We retrieved our bags and went over to Fatima's (Adil's mom) and said goodbye & thank you for the last time. We stayed at Omar’s cousin’s apartment that night – Kamal. After a shower, some rest, and water, we went out for dinner w/Omar, Kamal, Zaineb (Omar's new friend), and Ryme @ the Tahiti Beach Club, a great restaurant on the beach located next to the more than 10 swimming pools which are very popular during the daytime. After a nightcap at another place where the Sambuca was flowing (and burning!), we called it a night.
Day 14- We awoke to construction (thank goodness for waking us!), cleaned up, packed, & headed across town to Omar’s family house. Kate & Adil arrived later from their Agadir adventure, and we had another over-the-top fantastic meal (couscous, chicken, salad, filet beef skewers, meatballs, fruit) with those mentioned, and Omar’s brother. This house is also amazing- 4 stories with pool and the traditional Moroccan interiors (like the grand salon in Fatima’s) but with a modern flare- it was only built a few years ago. Did some heavy internet/email/photo work and that evening we were off to the airport to yet another country!
Big THANK YOU's to Adil & Kate, Mama Fatima, the Atlassy family, Rashid and parents, and Omar and his family (including Kamal!) for being the most amazing tour guides EVER! We can't thank them enough for their generosity...and for the extra 5 kilos we gained!
JJ and Jason,
What an amazing story from Fes! We are glad you had a good time, and we love the picture of the goat heads. Just to let you know we are keeping up with your travels and look forward to hearing about each new adventure as we sit here grading papers (bad papers more specifically) here in Evansville.
