Tangier

This weekend's adventure...Tangier! Since Friday was a Moroccan national holiday, Sarah and I decided to take advantage of the extra day off from school :)
After a seven hour train ride, we finally arrived in Tangier. Our afternoon was spend at the home of Morgan and Bruce (a contact Sarah had recieved). We had such a good time. It was so nice to be around people who understand us! They were a sweet couple and very fun to be around.
Saturday morning we met John (another contact) at the Cafe de Paris (where Bourne Ultimatum was filmed!!!), got some food, and headed out for our hike. The climb was refreshing. It was really nice to be away from the city and enjoy clean air. The view from the mountain was gorgeous! We could see all the way across to Spain. On our way up the Rif Mountains, we came across a herd of sheep and goats. We even saw a baby lamb that had just been born! As we continued to climb, we were engulfed by a cloud. It was like we were in our own world.
When we got back to town, we grabbed dinner and headed to the carnival :) Riding the Pirate swing, we felt like kids...it was great! What a wonderful day!!! New friends, new sights, new experiences...
