And a few days along...

SO, it's Wednesday.  Everyone's still alive.  Nobody wants to go home yet.  Great!

The last few days have been mostly unwind time for the four of us (while DH is early to rise, early to bed). It's a bit strange at times with our daddy at work while we're on vaca. The boys are in love with the hotel's Kid's Club and have made some friends. At this point I'm begging them to come to the beach with me.

Yesterday I had no choice but to brave the short drive from the resort into El Jadida.  This is a town of about 150 000 people all playing their part of a disturbed ant hill.  Armed with 3 large bags of laundry, I drove into town along a sweet, winding tree-lined road.  95% of the traffic overtook me AND I WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT. 

I found parking, like everyone else, anywhere on the sidewalk.



Missing hubcap added for effect - not!

Dry Cleaners.  CLOSED!  Ugh! 
Went next door to investigate and discovered a lovely Patisserie and about 700 bees.  I was motioned inside with my new buzzing buddies and told, in broken English, "You not worry. Bee bite good medicine."  Mmm, comforting.

Insert new information:  shops close between 2 - 3pm.  OK... so I decided to walk down to the beach with my camera.

Just in case you forgot to pack your tea.

3pm, back in time to drop off the laundry.  Such a deal at 900 MAD ($100)!

Not too imPRESSING
