Day 10 - Chefchaouan

1/7/10
We had a great bread and goat cheese b-fast. Then hiked in the rain and over the flooded bridge to a ruined mosque. Two dogs followed us/lead the way. We called them Matt O'Brien and Matt Miller. Matt Miller liked to wander off and pee on things.
Then we hiked down the big hill to the bus station and bought tix for the bus the next day. We had lunch at some guys' place. Chez Romec. It took forever to get our food, because at we later found out, the cook/owner was camped in front of the TV watching soap operas.

In the Afternoon, we went to the Hammam. The bath. We were told that it was the thing to do. Here's the deal. I went into a room and laid on the warm floor and a naked guy threw scalding hot water on me and it hurt. Then he sat on me and twisted me like pretzel and it hurt. Then he slapped me very hard repeatedly and it hurt. Then he twisted me more and cracked my back, putting me in some wrestling move I remember from teh WWF in the 80's. Cool.

For Din we went back to Casa Hassan. More tajine with yummy soup.
