Today I'm in Meknes after a long annoying bus ride. It's hard to get where you want to go from Chefchaoun because all the busses are full by the time they pass through. We couldn't come here directly so instead we got a ticket to some awful suburban bus station to wait for another bus. It was like a Moroccan purgatory, only Meknes isn't heaven, it's just another big city full of scams and car exhaust. My distain for the 3rd world city is coming back to me ... One crazy/disturbing thing that we saw: Some kind of festival is going on right now where they kill one sheep everyday, so on the bus people were transporting these animals around like cargo on the roof. They tie its feet together, hoist it up to the roof of the bus, then tie it there with a bungie cord. That's one unhappy sheep. Also, some guy on the bus had this huge butcher knife that the Gendearm told me was used for the sacrifice. That's just the kind of thing you want to have flying around the cabin in case of an accident!
