Greetings from Casablanca!! LCT'ers went on the all day trip to Rabat. Such a fascinating country. The Great Mosque was very picturesque. We were taken to a Kasbah (edit: Kasbah) which was exciting to see. Narrow passages, interesting looking dwellers. Had a lunch at a beautiful hotel, but, unfortunately, the food was just ok. But that doesn't matter to me. I love exploring this country & can't wait to get to the next port for another day in Morocco. We shopped in Casablanca and our group was late in returning to the dock - we got stuck waiting for a train to get out of the way of traffic (us) trying to get by. Ship was calling our guide, Mohammad (what a character), on the cell "where are you?? Where are you??" He just laughed. There were a few anxious moments, especially when our bus was crossing behind the train and it started to back up into us! Needless to say, we're alive and safely back on board. Donna & Debbie were on another bus. Hopefully, they missed the "train" experience.

We just shoved off from the dock. It's a wild ride and has been for the past 24 hours. Some people are not feeling well but I don't think it's much of a problem for most. We are presently hanging on to our computer tables - that's the degree of pitch right now. I'm loving it :)

Will attempt to find out what changes there will be regarding internet charges, etc.
