Breakfast. Campus. Azrou.

Today was a very intensive walking day.
To begin, a lot of the exchange students, and a few freshman went to breakfast. Which was amazing. I'm not entirely sure what I ate, but it was good, and I actually got full. There was like a flaky pancake, and a harder...pancake thing. Someone told me the names, but of course I forgot. The mint tea here is one thing I am pretty certain I will miss upon returning to America. They sweeten the shit out of it, so it's just a bit of mint, with a lot of sweetness. I finally got to mingle with a few native Moroccans, and that was nice. Learned some new words, which is always a bonus.
After breakfast, we had an across campus scavenger hunt. Which sounded fantastic, until we got stuck on the second clue and walked alllllll around campus. It is hilly. It was warm. We ran a little bit. I still hate running. Of course, we lost. We didn't even finish, rather we jumped to the end to see the winner's get a prize. And there's video of our epic failure. A guy with a camera followed us around for about 40 minutes.. half laughing at us the entire time. He wasn't a random person with a camera, let me make that clear. He was part of the student association, recording the events.
The best part of the day was the trip to Azrou. It's about 20 minutes outside of town, and you have to take a grand taxi to get there. Meaning 6 of us, plus a driver, in an old mercedes. While it wasn't the most comfortable ride, the view was fantastic. We came down the mountain slightly, and got a good view of the town from the road. It was nice to actually feel like I am in Morocco. While Ifrane is nice, it's a bit insulated and has the nickname "little Switzerland" for a reason. The town was awesome, and we did a little bit of shopping. We also went to this bakery that had some amazing looking pastries for great prices. I guess that is one great thing about the influence of French culture here.
Classes begin tomorrow, which is a bit of a downer. I am not prepared.
