I now sit on my fifth floor balcony perch listening to music, eating khubz, and watching the sun go down with a giant poster of the Laughing Cow cheese girl. I have been sitting here for the past 4 hours of the 138. It will probably grow to the past 139 hours once I finish this post.
I have broken up these hours by trying to make sugar cookies and playing with my computer camera. I also have played the classic game of spot the lost tourist. The running total is one.
Besides it being nice outside, I am trying to plan one of my last free weekends in Morocco. I have studied many top ten lists. Most places, left, seem to be too far for such a short weekend.
In reading through Lonely Planet, I have thought of having a “Meknes Tourist Day.” This would be done, by hitting ever place mentioned in the Meknes, Morocco section. If I don’t do that I will be somewhere other then here.
Make that two more lost tourists. A total of 3 lost tourists plus a baby in a stroller.
The neon Pizzeria sign has just flickered on.
