So Casa ended up well. One of my SERVAS connections finaly came through after really woking the "Moroccon" time. I caught a bus to his neighborhood which was really poor. And I found the bus by asking a guy on the street who was going that way. The guy had told me to call him as soon as I got on so he could time it. The man working on the bus had to get off with me and was nice enough to wait for my guy to come through. He did though and then we went to his hous and broke fast there. It was great. His family was very nice and I started to relax pretty quick. I was going to leave for Rabat that night but his brother took me to the Hassan II mosque for Ramadaan night prayers. Amazing! There were about 20,000 people there. That was crazy. And he showed me around the mosque and we spoke in formal Arabic which allowed me to learn quite a bit. He drove me back to my hotel after picking some people he knew from his neighborhood in the small car. It was a tight fit but one of them spoke English and was practicing on me.
Didn't sleep well because of the jetlag but I did rest well enough to catch the bus in the morning to Rabat...
