week-end in Rabat

Got away for our first week-end to the capital city of Rabat. A cleaner,older version of Casa with some really interesting scenery. The kasbah(fortified old city) was impressive and we stayed in a hidden away riad right in the kasbah. The view of the ocean was beautiful and we swam and tryed to body surf. It is still Ramadan which makes it difficult to find restaurants and food but we managed to find a pricey tourist spot that was something out of The Arabian Nights.

The old medina went on forever with shops of every kind. We have bought a couple of basic household items but am waiting to get the knack of batering down. If any one wants rugs- man oh man this is the place!

We are back to reality with a meet the teachers tomorrow night Yeah Hoo!!!

Keep you posted,
Barb et Marc
