We all woke up at 9:30 and hopped into the queen bed Marissa and Elle have been sharing to talk and snuggle. We didn't really have a plan for the day and we had done most of the highlights that Chefchaouen has to offer. We had breakfast at a cafe on the main square where they had some pretty good milkshakes.
Afterwards, we checked out of our hostel and went shopping. They had a lot of cool art of the blue city and some cool tapestries of Chefchaouen, but if I'm going to get a tapestry, I'd rather get one that says something about Fes on it. Alice got a cool bag and I got a pretty exciting sweater. I bargained him down from 300 to 120 and had some fun. He held at 160, but I got him to crack. I'm convinced I could have gotten it a little lower, but not a bad deal nonetheless. I'm considering joining the amateur bargaining circuit.

We sat in a cafe for two hours and just talked and people watched. I had some kebabs (brochettes) for lunch, but they weren't that good. At 2:30, we walked down to the bus station for our 3:20 bus. We had the entire back row together which was nice because there wasn't a single free seat on the bus. There were a bunch of Australians on the bus with us too. I spent the whole ride listening to music and looking out the window because I had finished my reading on the bus ride to Chefchaouen. For the hour and a half, as the sun set, the girls quit reading and we talked the rest of the way home.

We got back to Fes at 7:30 and were home by 8, despite almost being killed by the reckless Moroccan taxi driver. It's incredible how much faith we put in these guys who drive stick-shift clown-cars haphazardly at lightning speeds around the city for no more than $1.50. I spent the rest of the night working on a presentation for class tomorrow on Welcome to Paradise and catching up with people on Facebook chat.
