Tangier

We arrive and make it to our hotel in Tangier. 1e paid the taxi about eight times what we should have (still thinking Euros). (I wonder the taxi driver was so happy the whole time) This was about 8 Euros and should have been 20 dhirum or $1 about....
The reception person has a wandering eye. As if it isn’t hard enough blurting these new Arabic phrases.... He recommends Ali Baba for dinner and Ryan and I get the sense that that is what he tells everyone and we want to do something a bit "different" on the loc side of things.

For the first time I attempt to use my ATM card and it doesn't work. That happens four times.... Nada. Thanks JSB! We start wandering... Have difficulty locating the restaurant we want... And eventually duck into a hole in the wall for a mixed seafood pate (huge plate. I'm worried we’re going to be doing dishes because we don't have any dirham yet. Thankfully, they took our Euros and we headed back out to find some action. The only action was a bunch of bars with dudes drinking tea and smoking up a storm so we want home for a nap before we are to head out to the clubs.... The nap lasted 9 hours....
