Au Borg Nord

I had an extremely relaxing weekend just like I wanted. It was so nice to chill out in Fes, though it was over 100 everyday, and not do anything. I read a little, went online a lot, and lounged around the villa. So great.

After having a not so great Friday night it was nice to sleep in on Saturday and lounge. I woke up around 9am and made some breakfast. Read a little and just watched some MTV/VH1. They still play mainly music videos on those channels here which was weird. I went to lunch with Holly, another girl who lives in the villa. It was good. We went to my favorite spot in Tajine town, that's what we call this little strip of cheap traditional Moroccan food stands. After that I took a nap and then went with Phil to McDonalds. All and all a very relaxing day.

Today I woke up at 8am after sleeping for like 3 hours last night. I met Jacqueline to go hiking/walking to the Borg Nord. It is this old fort the Sultan used to observe the people of Fes because they were considered prone to rioting and what not against the government. After getting wrong directions from a police officer we made it to the top and saw some Merenid tombs as well. The rest of the day was spent cooking and figureing out what to do for my last week here.

I have decided to go to Agadir. It is a very touristy beach town in the south. It'll be nice to escape Fes and Morocco and relax by the pool.

Well, that's all for now. Looking forward to over 100 degree heat for the rest of my time here. YAY
