Since it seems like I’ve finally figured out what I want to do with my life, there’s no reason for me to sit here in Pennsylvania any longer. I’m ready to move somewhere where I can live The Adventure 365 days a year… So I’m going to scout out a New Homeland—and, of course, play music wherever I go…

0108 Heading back North (Mor 019—new)

February 19, 2008

After one more stop that I had to make in Casablanca, I'm headed north, this time deliberately. Gonna try to cram in just a couple more cities and then head back to Spain and beyond...

Next stop: Kenitra. Another non-touristy city with a lively market area. Everyone talks to me in Arabic here--I guess they're just not used to seeing foreigners here.

By now it seems, the pain of being eliminated from the the Africa Cup has been forgotten--everybody's crammed into the cafes watching a Real Madrid game...

Find a decent, cheap room... explore the town a bit, grab a pizza (yeah, yeah, I know I should be eating only Moroccan food while I'm in Morocco... whatever) and then hit the sack.

Next day I already have my parkbenching location singled out... A couple of young schoolgirls come to listen. Any guy that passes by tries to shoo them away telling them to go to school. "The teacher's are on strike" the claim.

Turns out, I think they were telling the truth. Later on I came across what looked like a small-scale picket line...

And that was Kenitra...
