The Medina in Rabat

Our tour doesn't begin until tomorrow, so we grabbed a cab and headed to the medina, which is a busy, walled old town in Rabat. The center is the Old Market, a souk with alleys of shops selling ceramics, spices, olives, jewellery, clothing and shoes. Hoss found himself a suede shirt/jacket that looked very nice on him. We didn't have enough dirhams(Moroccan dollar) on us, and the shop keeper didn't have a credit card machine, so he quickly found a friend to watch his shop while he walked with us to an ATM. He certainly wasn't going to miss out on a sale! So much fun!

Rabat, Morocco

We landed in Casablanca, caught a one hour ride or so to Rabat, checked in at the Sofitel. We had a drink, ate some dinner, and headed to our back to our room where we slept for 12 hours! I guess we were tired!

Montreal To Morocco

 When in Montreal, how can you turn down poutine?!!

After a winter in Mexico, its hard to turn down a Mexican restaurant at the airport, especially when they are serving ice cold Dos Equis!!
 

From Mexico, to Melville, then Montreal and finally Morocco....we must love the letter M! A six hour flight awaits us, and our flight is on time! Yeah!!

In A Few Days...

 We are starting to pack up our belongings because our time in Zihua is coming to an end. I have to say I'm ready to leave. I feel homesick and I miss our family. We left Canada near the end of September and we will only be in Melville for two nights and then we fly to Morocco for about 3 weeks. I don't think we'll plan to be away for so long in the future! 

Mardi Gras

 We finally got to experience Zihua's Mardi Gras! It was full of colour, costumes, music, and entertainment. The parade was awesome!
