It's Time to Say Goodbye to Fès

[Photos to come!]

April 27--

It's our final morning in Fès, and - sadly - time to say goodbye. 
I began the morning with my usual breakfast at the hotel - and met a new friend! Sedik, one of the morning breakfast servers, introduced himself.  We had a lively conversation about my visit, the US, Morocco, language and linguistics, and more.  

After our conversation, Hicham picked us up and dropped us at the train station.  We said our farewells and enjoyed a quiet train ride back to Casablanca.  

Upon arrival at the Idou Anfa Hotel, we reconnected with our friends and compared notes at a hotel balcony - it felt like the Twilight Zone, as my colleague Bianca noted.  We'd been gone only six days, but it felt like longer.  After more reconnecting, some downtime back at our hotel, and dinner out, I thought we might call it a night.  But instead, our colleague Marc (yes, that colleague - the star of the Seinfeld-in-the-Desert episode) suggested we visit the Casablanca Irish Bar.  It did not disappoint!
