Back to Meknes and Azrou

   A relatively large group of people, including me, went to Meknes to go see the sites there. Unlike the last time, the entire day was spent going around and seeing different tourist sites.

   The first place we saw was an old underground jail. We got to walk around the prison and see where prisoners were chained up. It was cool to see how little light got into a few places. It was almost pitch black in those locations.

   After the jail, we went to see the Royal Stables. The Stables had collapsed in places, but most of it was still standing. They were enormous. I kept on thinking that I must have reached the end, but then it ended up there was still more. It made an interesting site when the end was reached. You could see the repeating archways, and it was a good reminder how big the place was.

    We also went to a museum and an old school place. The old school place was interesting. The young students had small rooms, and the older ones had slightly larger ones. The professors, of course, had colossal rooms compared to the students.

   The next day my friend Ben and I went to Azrou to see if his computer is fixable. Ben has been on most of the trips that I have written about in this blog. His computer was crashing randomly and did not seem to work well for a while, and eventually, he could not get it to turn on. The IT people on campus said it was a hard drive issue, and told him he had to get a new hard drive.

   The guy in Azrou said it was a corrupted OS and the hard drive was fine. He did not charge Ben anything, and we left.

   We then went climbing the rock that Azrou was named after. It was a short climb, but it was pretty steep. The top had a beautiful view.

  We then went for lunch and headed back to the university.

The next post will be related to Azrou, and will be titled '3 Times of Stupidity, and Ben's Computer'.
