Transit to amsterdam

Woke up at 8 am. Showered packed and made it to breakfast by 830. Then we were on our way to find gasoline and the airport. Worried about how much the car rental is going to charge us with the busted side view mirror. It is amazing this was the only damage we endured. We took an A road back to Casablanca detoured trough a rundown town. Found gas to get us back to the quarter mark (where the car was when we got it) and got the car parked in the lot. We beat that thing up with all the bumpy roads dirt and Moroccan way of life. No charge the dude said and we were off to find our gate. Of course our paid flight has to be delayed again. We walked the airport to get lunch. Cash only. Which we had spent already to not bring any home with us. Grrrrrr. So we had to resort to a quiche and a bottle of water. This was after we walked the smelly tiny airport about four times while we waited for our flight. Then. We watched the rest of how I met your mother. And started shawshank redemption. Then our plane arrived we boarded. Did not get the emergency exit row we originally requested as they sent a bigger plane. Whatever, we got the row to ourselves. Kept watching our movie with our eye on a snakpak and a beer. She came through again we have no cash but hey take card. So we give her our order and the card which she cannot take because everyone in Europe has a chip. She felt bad for ius a have us a Heineken no charge. Finished shawshank and started Sahara. Landed and then made our way through customs. Luc, the first Couchsurfer I ever stayed with was going to meet us for drinks and he offered us his couch. We got on the train and met him at the station. He let us drop our bags then we got the French fries with mayo sauce and deep fried meatball gravy things. Really good. Then we went to a cafe had a couple beers and talked politics(the boys did anyway) made it back to Lucs house and looked into flights. Fell sleep on the couch with a 7am wake up to try for a united flight to Houston.
