Lawrence of Arabia: Morocco

In February I had the opportunity to travel to Morocco and Tunisia for my work. I was only in each country for one very hurried week each. Both places have been on my list of "places I want to visit in my lifetime". I was a little disappointed that I did not get to see more of the country (especially Morocco since that trip was especially busy) but that just means that I'll have to keep it on my list and save my pennies to go back. One of the fun parts of my job is being able to go to new places. I love to travel and I love new adventures and that is one way my job has been perfect for me.

I don't have any crazy stories from Morocco like I do for the other places I've gone. Like I said it was a fast trip (5 cities, 8 trains in 6 days. ouch) so there wasn't much going on......actually I take that back. I DID have minor trouble on the train.... I got mixed up, twice, about which train station to get off at... being in a country I've never been to, traveling alone, and all. It wasn't that big of a deal, I just had to wait a few hours for the next train goin' my way. The funny part of the story is that I got off at the same (wrong) little train station both times- once coming and once returning. The same little old man at the station helped me. I'm sure he rolled his eyes at the funny foreign woman. I sat in a dingy little coffee shop sipping cup after cup of cafe au lait for a few hours trying to ignore the stares, as I was 'forced' to sit in a coffee shop which only men tend to patron. Well, anyway, being stuck at the wrong train station those two times gave me time to write postcards and journal not to mention the cups of cafe au lait, which were surprisingly very good, so I was a happy camper.

These three pictures are all random things of interest from Meknes:
