A pigtail

Finally, we can use any plug in a marina-we have a pigtail now! In Europe, the plugs in the marina have two kinds-the big kind, and the small kind. We kept having to switch between the big plug and the small plug. This means that we have to rewire the tip of our cable, which meant taking the tip apart, and switching the wire. EXTREMLY ANNOYING! Now, we have a pigtail that has the small plug on one end, and the big one on the other. It's easier now.

Prices

It's very strange, as the costs of everything very from place to place. For example, a loaf of bread in the US costs one dollar. You probably know this already, but keep reading. A loaf of bread in the UK costs one pound. This is the most valuable currency that I'm listing. One euro in the EU. One durum in morracco, where we are now. Strange, isn't it? It's the cheapest here.

WHY DON'T THEY STOP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 In Rabat, (Orion will write about that) There are several crosswalks that have no traffic lights. This is very bad for pedestrians, as you have to wait for a break. Did I mention that the cars here go at insane speeds?  Well, this is annoying. Only occasionally do the crosswalks have a policeman that controls. I wish they had streetlights for goodness sake.--By Rigel

Morrisons

At home, there is a store called Publix. It's huge. Well, here, there weren't many Publix-sizes stores. All but here. Here, there's a giant store that's Publix-sized. It's called Morrissons. They have everything. We found a lot of stuff there. Pop tarts, cheerios, spices, sugar cookies. They have it all. Orion's been stocking up on pop tarts. I don't blame him. If I liked that kind of pop tart, I would have done that, too. Giggle tip blank bomb man doom ode blank. Whew!
