i got up this morning with ambitious plans to see the rest of safi in the ayem then head north to el jadida. but then morocco got in my way
i went to every counter at the gare routière: nice bus? coplete. chicken bus? complete. other chicken buses? complete. shared taxi - about 50 bucks. well, pas de problème - safi has me for another day.
i had a nice chat with the taxi driver back fron the bus station - turns out that his brothers live in arlington, va! went for a walk along the fishing port, where i had another nice talk with the policeman at the gate. the french is *finally* coming along OK (albeit with a lot of mistakes!).
safi is a lovely little village, perched on the sea with 18th century portugese defenses - walls, cannons, turrets with a bustling pottery trade along with a busy sea port of sardine boats and trading barges. industrial-touristic - sort of like cleveland
anyway i have seen everything that there is in safi so today i get another day to watch morocco go by, whick is ok by me

"...another day to watch morocco go by...."
That, my friend, is a good day!
I've been catching up on the blog this week. I hope that you find a few more places to get lost and delayed before it's all said and done.
Go ahead and send me that card:
The Clash

Take care.
