Rabat

So still hanging out in Morocco and loving it more and more.  Getting use to being stared at and talked to where ever I go and think it is hilarious that guys want their pictures taken with me.  I have spent the last two days wandering around the Capital of Rabat, a really amazing city.    Great markets, not too many tourist, awesome pastries (just sampled some delious almond cookies),and some really great monuments and archaeological sites.  There are so many layers to the history here it is amazing.

The people here are really so kind, i have ahd so many people help me out or offer me little things for free.  Today there was a family in a restaurant I was eatting in (my favorite spot, mum I just keep coming back like usually) and they gave me two of these fruit treat things, i am not sure if they were cactus fruit or some kind of pomagranet thing but they were very tasty.  Also had this realy nice guy at a museum explane to me about some of the sculptures and bronze pieces; he was so proud of the art and new so much about the different styles, i can now pick out a roman nose from a greek nose.  He also joked that he look like Bacchus and that they both eat too much. So many kind little things people do for you everyday here.

Overall, eatting great, drinking tons of mint tea, walking lots, and seeing amazing things.  Morocco has a very strong culture and it is so great to be experiencing it.  Mum you would love the toilets.  Love everyone, thinking of you lots; Shannon, Marshall, and Megan, see you in three days.
