DAY TRIP TO MOROCCO

Since we were in Tarifa, Spain and Tangier, Morocco only being a quick 30 min ferry ride away Amanda and I decided to take the opportunity to forget about training for just one day and go check it out. I am so glad we did. We had a great day in Tangier and the small town of Assilah. Besides one run in with a rug salesman who was determined to sell us a rug (some people in Morocco won't take no for an answer) we had a great day. Our taxi driver and tour guide Abdul did a great job showing us all the sights and many places we would have missed if we had tried to do it alone. I really hope we can return to Morocco soon and explore more the country! Now, back to Spain.
