So I left Geneva early Sunday mroning, with a very grumpy taxi driver. I flew to MAdrid and spent the day with Nathalie and DAvid, hanging out at their place and at the outdoor market. In the evening I flew to MArrakech where ALi was witing at the airport. We had dinner in Jma El Fnaa, Harira with huge wodden spoons and dates followed by spicy tea, my fave Marrakech meal, and only about one euro for two people. The next day we were wanderiong around the city when we ran into some of ALis school friends from Oujda so we spent most of the day in a cafe with them. The next day we headed to Settat to see Ali's Grandma, Aunt, Oncles and cousin. We ended up spendin a week there, preparing stuff for the marriage and just hanging out. There was a small carnival that was in town and we went on a couple of rides. It was soo funny. ALi had never been on anything like them before and when the one that spins in the air started moving he was freaking out, his knuckles were white from gripping the bar so hard. But then he relaxed nad it was funny. THe other thing that I found really amusing was that when we went on the bumper cars... the Moroccains drive like mainaics on the street, but I think someone needs to explain to them that the point of bumper cars is to crash. They all drove around in a nice circle, being careful to avoid everyone else...how safe it would be if they drove like that on the roads. At first I could not stop laughing, but then once I had calmed down, I starrted crashing into everyone and they were all looking at me like I was the one who was crazy...anywayz...
