LOVE getting ripped off!

We slept in until lunch which is at 11:30 am. It was so nice to sleep in. We then went out to do our last little bit of shopping in Casablanca. Dice wasn’t feeling well, but she really wanted to spend the rest of her money, so she came with us. It was really hard to bargain with people without Hamid, but we managed. I was pretty tired of bargaining by that point, so I probably got ripped off once or twice. I also got my henna redone, and the lady TOTALLY ripped me off. We agreed to 20 durhams for redoing my hand, and she didn’t do a very good job. Then, she asked if I wanted my foot done, and I agreed. I first said though, for the same as my hand? 20 durhams? And she said yes. Then, when she finished my foot, she was like 70 durhams. So, obviously I said “what? You said 20 durhams for my foot”. And she said “No. 50.” There was a really big group around me, and I really didn’t want to start something with her, so I paid it. It was really annoying though. Megan was yelling at her for ripping me off. Dice wasn’t feeling well at all though at this point, so I walked her back to the shuttle. After that, I shopped around by myself for a while because they chances of me finding anyone were slim to none. It was kind of fun to wander around by myself though. This one woman got really upset with me when I wouldn’t buy clothes from her, but I got out of there without any problems. I did go into one store which had some really cool stuff, but I couldn’t find the shop owner. I stayed and looked for a while hoping he would show up, and I eventually saw him sleeping behind the desk. He woke up after I made a little bit of noise though, and I bought some stuff from him. I got a little lost too in the souks because it is pretty much a maze of shops. It was fine though. I eventually found my way back to the main street and ran into Megan and Katie which was a complete coincidence. I gave the last of my money to people begging on the street, and we headed back to the ship.

We had dinner on the ship, and Ray-ray and I headed up to the top deck to watch the ship sail away from Morocco. Megan bought us fro-yo but she went to sleep pretty early because she found out she had strep throat. Lame. It was crazy to watch us sail away from Morocco though. I can’t believe that this trip is over. Well, the seven days at sea are going to be rough, but I was looking forward to this trip for so long and now it’s over. I am really excited to come home though. I miss everyone. I miss Pittsburgh. :-)
