So a few nights ago I had horse meat for dinner. Im not sure if you’ve ever tried this, but it is REALLY good! Surprisingly so. I bit into it expecting something quite the opposite but I must say I think I prefer it to cow.

Also, I went to the main beach yesterday for a swim and they have there a stage for different sorts of promotional activities (sponsored by Maroc Telecom undoubtedly, they seem to own everything here) and saw something typical and hilarious. This is something of an inside joke with those who have been to Morocco and seen the machismo atmosphere and have seen the men doing pushups at the beach in the sand for no apparent reason. Anyway, one of the promotional activities was definitely a pushup contest between about 10 guys. Unfortunately I was by myself at the time so I am sharing it now hoping some of you are chuckling on the other side with me…

Moroccans LOVE to talk about the weather. I mean, I know we do too, but its almost comical the number of times a day i say the phrase ‘ljoe sxoon bzef!’ (the weather is really hot!).

Anyway, just a couple of random thoughts…
