BONNE NOEL!!!!!

Happy Christmas everyone!!!

So today wegot up early and did a major tour of Salè (twin city of Rabat). It was fantastic. We hired a Guide (local man that had good french and okay english) to give us a tour. We went to the local grande mosque, the library, an elementary school, the war museum, and got a chance to go to his house for tea, In morocco tea is very important and if you are asked to someones home for tea that is a privilage.

We toured around the Souques (market streets) and sawsome amazing things. we were the only white people there andthe locals were very poliet, friendly, and interested in us. You can tell that not many tourists got there so we were really off the beaten track. It was great. The food here is really fresh - the chickens were stillalive and only arekilled when you buy them! The lamb same thing and the fish are still moving on the tables!

Having a blast. Tonight we are back to the market in search for some jewelery and leather goods. (I hope the purses are not still moving but you never know!)

Sorry no pictures yet...soon;

Oh.... i forgot to mention that i have had a man want to know how many camels it would take to have me. He offered 20,000. Someone should ask Dad if that is a good enough offer or if he wants a better deal!!!

Miss and love you all - off to Casablanca tomorrow morning.
