Day 1 - Casablanca!!!

K. For some reason the wifi at our hotel works on my iPod touch but not on my laptop, so the lovely well written post I had prepared for you can't get posted. Well, in theory I could wait to post it - but I hate to wate the wifi opportunity. Though I'm also starting to get sleepy, so you're all going to get a condensed version of the days events.

- arrived here an hour late - luggage carousel not working at first so helped move luggage manually. Later had to walk around on it when the carousel suddenly started again which was kind of fun.
- driver not waiting for us when we finally got outside - some kind of scheduling snafu, with a typo on our start date on a copy of the itinerary that no one realized was there till today. We've been put up in a nice hotel here in Casablanca for the night before starting our original itinerary tomorrow. Kinda nice getting a day to chilled in fluffy robes.
- driving is crazy here. More on that likely to come throughout the trip.
- had dinner at a super fancy McDonalds on the waterfront. Huge patios, waterfront views, and some people were kind of dressed up.
- speaking French here super important. Unless you happen to speak Arabic. Some people speak English, but it's never any good.

Anyways, really starting to get tired - were coming up on something like 36 hours awake since I can't sleep on planes. Early start tomorrow, so I'll end this here. Hopefully the trend towards (atleast partially functioning) wifi in our hotels continues.
