Chefchauen, Morocco
Sixteen hours. Train. Bus. Boat. Bus. Cab. Annoying man. We arrived in Chefchauen, Morocco. I have to say that I was more excitd for Morocco in theory than in reality. The reality is that it is far closer to the type of traveling I did in Asia than Europe. Also, it is an Islamic country and not being covered from head to toe ilicits stares, sneers and unwelcomed comments...sometimes including a marraige proposal.
Chefchauen is a cute little town. For the most part it is a village and the mountain is the big sight. But what did we see more of....rain. Yep our new plague on this trip. Now being from Seattle you ask, rain? How bad could it be. Well this is like heaven opening and pouring down on the world. So we ventured out during one of the breaks to get breakfast. We then realized our hotel was rather horrible in comparison to the neighbors so we swtiched and then tried to see the sights and eat during the small windows of no rain.

Chefchauen is a town of blue doors.
Why my backpack is going to weigh 20920392 pounds when we leave here.
That evening we were abusing the free wifi and watching Little Miss Sunshine....going out after dark as two women is not the best idea......and the power goes out. For about twenty minutes at a time we read by candlelight and listened to kid running up and down the stairs outside until we went to bed. Leaving early in the morning on a bus to Fes we needed our sleep.
