Blue Yonder
Yessus I missed the ocean. Almost as much as hot showers. I got both today and I’m deliciously tired from it. The surf here is small and the wind picked up this afternoon but swell is expected!
I’m staying with the guys at Mehdia Surf School and they’re a cool bunch. Mehdia Plage is a little seaside town outside a little seaside town. Kenitra being the bigger neighbour has about 300 000 people. Mehdia Plage will surprise me if it has 10 000 people.
Anyway, surf here gets BIG (note the capital letters, that means really big, like gigantic and stuff) and I’m digging the surfer vibe so I’m gonna chill for while here. There’s only one internet cafe here (which is kak unusual for Morocco) so don’t expect much updates.
Getting here was a bit of a mission since all I had was an address that I though was i Kenitra. So I had to mission at night to here to find that the hostel almost no one knows about was closed. Luckily one of the 10 guys along the way who helped me turned out to be (beside the bodyboard/speedbump champion of Morocco) quite helpful. He works at the surf school and got his boss out of bed to rent me a place to sleep.
I think I’m going to have a siesta and then another hot shower. Ya, that sounds good right now.

Hey so Whats Morocco like dude and why there of all places??
You obvouisly know you can’t invite Gham there ne because they’ll mess up your tent, mess around with the sheep and leave behind a bad smell and give us a bad name.
(Or is it camels I’m not to sure these days) ok I’ll leave now.

OMG I was just speaking of you (Carol) last night!!! How are you sweetie pie???
I’m still alive and getting to grips with my new life outside PNP. It has been very hard to adjust but at least there is much more freedom.
Heading off to Sutherland tomorrow with the family. For a while now I felt like heading out into our “Outback” just to get away from it all. It was tough finding accommodation but I eventually managed to find something.
This becoming a regular meeting place for PNP people. I’ve heard much of the office etc etc. Whats your take on it?
Ok Ok I will stop picking on the very quiet GW who is obviously too busy having a good time in Morocco. I’m turning green again.
Will mail you soon –
Waleed
