So I still don't have a very good sense of time here...the following things all took place in Fez (I think), but I don't know if they actually happened on the days I say they did. Oops. I'm just hurrying up and posting this because I don't think my memory will ever get any clearer.
Bus ride from Marrakech to Fez. Saw the king's palace in Fez.
Checked into the riad, a bed-and-breakfast type thing in the style of a traditional Moroccan house, or something. It was really nice, and a pleasant change from the isolated five-star hotels we'd been staying in previously. Photos:

Walked through the souq.
Saw posters of Shahrukh Khan.
Saw what used to be an asylum where the treatment process involved not shock therapy or lobotomies, but rather music.
Visited a tannery and witnessed the leather-dyeing process.

Wandered a bit. Bought a Qur'an. Etc.
"Traditional" dinner with live entertainment that then turned into audience participation. Thankfully I was not a selected audient.

Oral placement exam, then day-long bus ride to Tangier. More about Tangier later. I have eight weeks.

your bed and breakfast looks super snazzy...
but, question:
They're having you stay in 5-star hotels? I need to get a gig with the state department!
Will you just be taking classes in Tangier? I feel like I should know this, given that we lived together, but apparently I fail
