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.
