ENOUGH IS ENOUGH - BUT TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH!
MONDAY! Rise and Shine - we're on the move! After an "Action-packed" Sunday (more about that later) we decided we'd better get out of Marrakech and get out fast! We raced to the station early this morning (noon) and caught the first train north - it's turns out that it was heading to Casablanca! Oh yeah, baby! We're talkin' Humphrey Bogart and Rick's Cafe. Look, we know you all wanna see us tagging the Casbah with a can of spray paint, so don't start posting about Casablanca being a "tourist trap." YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, HOW DO YOU KNOW?
Sorry, just a little "up" on Moroccan coffee today (whew - this sh_t has more kick than snorting Red Bull while standing on your head!). Anyway, let's talk about yesterday (that was Sunday if you're keeping track in your diary). We decided to hire a guide and take a day trip (we're "Day-Trippers, Yeah!") up to the Atlas mountains and ride some camels (NOT KIDDING!). Well, we've never been too good of a judge of character so it wasn't surprising that our "guide" took us hostage and tried to rob us of all our money. What he didn't know of course is that we never have much money because Budweiser (the sponsor of the 2008 Riding4Beer World Tour) doles it out slowly just like our parents did with our allowance when we were kids. It turns out that the mistrust Budweiser places in our financial management skills was a blessing in disguise, and when our guide saw that he was richer than us he got us free camel rides, bought us lunch and gave us his sister's phone number! Moroccans are the nicest people!
Okay, let's talk about camel riding - humps and all. In the future if we are given the choice we think a better way to travel is in a 1976 Ford Pinto with a leaky gas tank and no air conditioning. Look, it's not that we don't like camels - hell, we love 'em - especially their toes! It's just that a million flies also love 'em! The "experience" was obviously something you have to have when you're in the Sahara Desert, but as a regular mode of transportation we'll take a pass. As a matter of fact, that's just what we did and passed on to Casablanca via train - so when you log on tomorrow (and you know you will!) we'll be sitting at the Casbah and...
4 PICS AND 1 VIDEO (THE KIDNAPPING VIDEO!) UP LOADED FROM THE AL-MAGHRIB BANK!
Typical Moroccan road at 55 MPH! This is where we had lunch - at least you know the meat is fresh!
You don't get this close to a fly trap anywhere else! Think Lawrence of Arabia only it's us!
THE KIDNAPPING VIDEO - THIS IS WHERE THEY DECIDED TO ROB US!

That is it! We thought we had seen it all and you have out done yourselves again. What kind of animalistic things are you going to come up with next you silly bastards ya? Stacy you must be in your glory since you're a vegatarian seeing all this raw meat. We have to agree with you we like camel toes too. Have a great time and remember, we cannot help but love you two.
guy and cary.

Something about this whole thing is making me uneasy. Not sure if it's the goat heads or men in veils but....dunno...kinda getting the creeps.
