Hercules and Assilah
From there we went to the Hercules Caves. They say Hercules stood here. I don’t know why but they are also famous for something else. I love African kids.This opening one of the most famous in Africa.Hercules has got nothing on us. :p The walls were all covered in Sea Shells. My pants are pretty sweet huh. I guess I forgot about them after the caves. Isn’t it pretty?I still hadn’t remembered the floods. It was a very nice coastal spot.From there we went to a small town to the south called Asilah.(We found that sign the next day.) This one was good though.Although we had made it clear that he wanted 35 durham for the trip up to that point, he suddenly changed it to 35 Euros, or in other words 350 durhams. I would later learn that this was a cheap Moroccan technique. But anyways, for the next 3 hours or so he’d take us for 350 more. That’s pretty good, we thought, but it turned out we got ripped off for the whole thing. Plus, when we got there they suckered us into paying for their lunch. Ugh. Lunch was good though.Oh well, it was worth it and the city was amazing. Funny story:So the package says Super Man, there are pictures of Power Rangers and the actual action figure is…SPIDER-MAN??? That is my confused face. It was a pretty little quaint city with the funniest/cutest kids.Look how clear the sky was.It was almost as blue as my shirt.This was probably the cutest little kid ever.It was such a beautiful day. I’m so thoughtful......and Jewish? When we got back to the car the key wouldn’t work on the door. I wonder why, I mean, it’s such a new key.But after a half an hour they passed the reigns to Andrew and I and we got it open within minutes.The ride home was really pretty and relaxing.That night we went looking for a hot tub in any random hotel and then mooch off them but couldn’t find any. There were some pretty nice hotels though.So, at the end of a busy day, I was really very sleepy.
CAMELOS
There, close by Cap Spartel, were the Camels. YEAH.Of course we were in full Arabic Garb and our drivers were rolling on the floor laughing.
Some might call that “rofling” I just look so authentic. Aren’t camels cool?Here it is, Proof that I rode camels.This is a pretty awesome pic.This one too.Its like a roler coaster.
Just beware the getting off part. Here I was saying goodbye to the camel and look at the ingratitude. My robes are pretty pimp though huh?Watch out though. They can be pretty vicious.

Cap Spartel
So the next day, Saturday, we woke and were waiting at 10 for him to come get us. Actually Andrew, Garrett, and I woke up and were told we’d all be leaving at 9:30 for breakfast but the girls left at 9 without warning us. Kyte felt bad. But we found some shops with food and left at 10 for the trip to see the sights and such. Once again, I was amazed at how beautiful Tangier is. We stopped at some rich guy’s house for pictures.And this guy tried selling me something for way to expensive. We stopped at a really neat lookout point. There was a huge that Andrew Garrett and I decided to climb. Our cab drivers’ name’s were Mustafa and Abdul. How funny!? Close to there was the point at which Mediterranean meets Atlantic. It was pretty awesome.
