Bienvenue a Casablanca!

Bonjour! Nous avons arrivons dans Casablanca! Forgive my imperfect French, but we are here in Morocco and were greeted by a steady mist (which is dissipating as we drive toward the ocean). We're in a taxi on our way to Casablanca from the airport and so far are managing with Rachel's rusty french. Moroccans speak Arabic primarily and many speak French; we have read that English-speakers are rare here. We have a hostel near the beach in Casablanca and have three days ahead of us with no plans. Hopefully we'll make some friends tonight and venture out to explore the neighborhood with them. Mostly we'll be laying low though for a few days before we head to Madrid to meet Nick's best friend David. We didn't do much research so far on Casablanca but we are looking forward to some good food and a return to many Western amenities. It's been a whirlwind week in Egypt so taking it easy will be a requirement here.Read more
