Mediterranean + Mountains = Cabo Negro, Morocco

This past weekend I went to Cabo Negro with Amber (new teacher) and Ruth (friend from another school). Sarah decided to climb the highest mountain in Morocco instead...don't understand why :D Cabo Negro is in the north of Morocco, just east of Tangier. We stayed at a student's family's vacation apartment...swimming pool, real grass, mountains, beach...can't ask for any better!
Being that it was a holiday weekend (end of Ramadan), most people were with family. After waking up at 4:30am and riding on a bus for 7 1/2 hours, we then began our adventure trying to find something open where we could buy at least milk. Instead we found and old man who gave us roses and offered us milk from his house. We declined but thanked him...not wanting to become his next three wives ;) Then we found a taxi driver who offered to drive us to McDonald's! (Apparently it was one of the only things open...and in a different city) The remainder of the evening consisted of trying to watch a movie in French, reading, and a nice 10pm bedtime.
Day 2 - I slept in all the way to 7am! (haha) We made our way to the beach to enjoy the sun and sand. Later in the afternoon it started to become overcast, so we returned to the apartment, made a yummy dinner, and read for most of the evening. I love vacations where you can read, sleep, read, sleep, repeat!
Day 3 - Cleaning...taxi to bus station...tour Tetouan...long trek home.

I'd say the weekend was just what the doctor ordered!
