Rabat to Azrou - Day 130

Date: December 26th, 2009
Distance: Cheating by bus!
Country: Morocco
Song of the Day: Brick - Ben Folds Five

Yep more cheating today. I did want to cheat by train actually, but they wouldn't let me on the train with the bike. Instead, Allen, Emory and I had to walk all the way out to the bus station.

From there we caught the bus out to Azrou. Not an exciting trip really. Though they did manage to screw up my aero bars when they put the bike on the bus. Let that be a lesson to you all. When you have a weird contraption like a bike and are putting it on a bus, be there and watch. Make sure they do it right.

We hopped off the bus at Azrou and met up with a couple of other PCVs there, Scott and Andrew. It turns out neither of them live there either. Scott, who has a site nearby, is watching the owner's cat. The place was really nice too. I can see why they would want to hang out there.

The big group of us grabbed some sandwiches for lunch, then Emory and Andrew went off to find some stuff for dinner. They were going to cook up a surprise. The rest of us went to look for some socks (no dice). Then hung out at a cafe for a bit. The prices were about half of what they were in Rabat.

Back at the place we played some cards. Then Emory and Andrew got dinner ready. It was pasta with a tomato and onion sauce topped off with mystery meat. The meat it turns out was in fact cow tongue. Not too bad actually. Tastes just like beef. The only problem I had was that it was incredibly chewy.

After that it was more cards, a couple episodes of Venture Brothers before heading to bed.
