This morning we woke early and continued traveling with our Dutch friends. Our initial plan was to have them drop us off in Tarroundant on their way to Agadir, but as we passed through town after town in central Morocco, we realized that we had no desire to stay anywhere that wasn't near the ocean, so we tagged along one more time and made it to the coast! The terrain in Morocco is beautiful, but it is exceptionally dry and hot this time of year and the towns are not that interesting or hospitable. Fortunately, riding with Frank and Frederieke has allowed us to see much of the countryside, towns and cities without having to spend multiple days there. Also, the company has been great.
We decided to stay at the same riad as our friends in Agadir so that we could hang out for one more night. The riad has a pool table and a pretty amazing rooftop terrace, so hooray for us. Our French hotel owner mentioned to me that he found Americans to be silly, stupid and unaware of the world outside the United States' borders. I mentioned that it was probably equally silly to generalize all of the people of a nation that is as large as all of western Europe. I don't think he understood me, but my xenophobic ass found great satisfaction in my witty retort. Agadir itself is quite a bit cooler than the interior of Morocco and there are more green things growing, which is nice after so much dry hotness.Tomorrow we head to Taghazout where we will spend the next 8 or 9 days surfing and enjoying the beach. Exciting times.
