Gouda's Cheesewheel

Kinetra and onwards

Yesterday I finally left Rabat after being delayed twice from my original itinerary. I took the train to Kinetra, just up the coast, where I know someone from last time named Himi. He's a student in English, so we have fun practicing together and he shows me around town. Today we went to the beach (Mehdia is the name of it) and after an afternoon nap we walked downtown, where I bought some odds and ends--Hammam things, specifically, which are hard to find in the U.S., especially Denver. I still need to invest in some cheap plastic brushes (about 30 U.S. cents each) which are good for the shower, and also for general purposes since I didn't pack a brush.

Tomorrow I will leave for Tangier, then on to Tetouan, along the northern coast and down into the Rif mountains to Chefchaouen (you'd need a map of Morocco to understand all this, but no matter). Tonight I think I will sleep well from all the walking, and from a few glasses of Cuvee le President. Not sure what time I'll leave tomorrow, but it doesn't matter as long as I have enough time in Tangier to find a hotel. Tetouan is close so I don't need to leave too early the next day.

Hope everyone is well.
