By Tuesday morning, Todd had taken ill. All us local TGC folks felt terrible for him and Abdellatif made the call for me to stay at the hotel just in case so we played hookey that day. The silver lining was we were able to use that time to rest and that would get Todd onto the road to recovery giving us strength for the home stretch of the adventure.
After catching up on some e-mails and napping a little, I walked down the street and picked up a couple of souvenirs to bring home. A student had asked for Moroccan food so I acquired a bag of couscous and found some interesting hot pepper sauce for our cabinet. Simple things which would be reminders of the time in Morocco.
Evening rolled around and dinner time arrived. I decided to walk over to a very nice below ground plaza and pick up dinner for both of us at a nice restaurant with dining under the stars. I waited for the order and looked around at the families, young people, parents and business types. 'Except for the languages, it could have been downtown Tulsa. The waiter finally brought the two sandwiches and an "egg burger" in a paper bag. I carried the meal back and dropped Todd's chicken sandwich off with him before eating, and turning in for the night. It had been a restful day and Todd was fighting off his cough.
Tough day on the trail but improving by the minute!
