Hammam

Slept until 1 pm. today. It was wonderful.

Around 5 we walked to the local hammam. A hammam is a public bath, which costs about a buck fifty (10 dirham) to enter, and then another dirham for some special hammam oil. For many people, it is the only place they can get a bath, and has a lot of dos and don'ts, but mostly all you need to remember is DON'T GET NAKED. While it's expected that you assist your friend with scrubbing those hard-to-reach places, nudity is very frowned upon. It was a very relaxing experience, and I expect will be a godsend come the cold winter months.
Obviously, I have no pictures of this particular adventure, but expect more monkey photos in the near future.

Tomorrow we find the group again and continue our re-habituation efforts.
