Morocco Day 3 and 4
Day 3 for breakfast I had toast and tea. Then we left our host families and drove to the Rif mountains were we then walked in the mud and rain to a families house in a very rural village. There we had a snack of strawberries, apples, sandwiches with cheese and veggies and then we had lunch which was couscous without meat. We learned about what the family farmed and how they made their bread. Fun fact: black olives are just picked later than green ones, but they come from the same tree. After spending a few hours with the family we drove to Chefchaouen where we were given time to shop before dinner. For dinner I had chicken kaba (again probably spelt wrong) and a moroccan salad (diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions) and lots of bread and olives. We stayed in a hostel that night and it rained really hard most of the evening, night, and next morning. Because of the rain our walk to outside the city was cancelled. For breakfast we had pastries. Then we drove to Ceuta, one of the two Spanish towns in Africa and crossed the border there. We then took the ferry past the rock of Gibraltar to Algeciras and our trip was over. I traveled back the following morning by train to Madrid and by bus to Burgos. Over all I am very glad to have taken this trip and very much enjoyed Morocco!!
