Morroco!!!!

So we made it to Morroco and cleared customs. Not that bad of a process actually. But since we weren't feeling like paying even more tolls to travel along the main highways, we took a route through the mountains that was on the GPS. EEEEEEP!!!! That was an adventure and a half. First we quickly saw some beutiful sights but once the sun set things got crazy;

The twisty mountian roads were quite narrow with little sturdy shoulder. Sometimes it was a few hundred feet drops off the side. In addition our headlights were not quite aligned properly so visibility was always a problem. Toss in the two tons of smashed bugs on our windshield and we could hardly tell where the road was when the maniacle drivers would come the opposite direction with their highbeams on and not shutting them off. Our quick drive to Rabat soon took nearly 6 hours by the time we stopped for the night.

So right now we are tired, cramped and hungry. We did manage to run into some of the other Africa Rally teams at the mauritanian embassy. They told us of a nice quiet place off the side of the highway to camp so we'll be spending the night there. Finally a chance to stretch out our legs.

We are still looking to get some more car parts. I'm still trying to call Bank of America since you cannot make collect calls from Morroco to the US. Overall I think we are just going to get some food and go take a nap.

After we get our visa for Mauritania tomorrrow we will head south and get our Mali visa in Mauritania. We're both looking forward to setting our eyes on the desert.
