To answer mom's questions -- there were about six of us who hiked in Chaoen. A small group of us wanted to stay in Chefchaoen both nights of the weekend and really explore the city, while the other part of the group wanted to go on to Tetoun where the Ocean is. I had heard that Tetoun is very touristy, and I've had a lot of that--so I was definitely not going.
The swimming spot was literally lost back in the mountains, so we could wear normal two piece swim suits. Our friends we were with from Morocco said that it's normal for girls to wear two pieces--even the ones who dress more conservatively. It's the public sphere they worry about. They have these bath houses here that women and men both bath in at the same time..completely naked...not from the same family, friend group, or anything. Yet in public the women are covered head to toe. Strangeeee.
Here's some pictures from last weekend! This weekend I'm going to the desert!!! Fair warning to you all-- I'm moving to Chefchaoen.

That's awesome Ab - and gross too! I'd never go to a public bath house. Gross. Looks beautiful there, though. Glad you're having a blast
Looks like a great time Ab! Glad to hear you're having such a good time. Not suprised you liked Chef so much. Aside from the crazies, there are a ton of spots in Africa and the Middle East that would be great to see and visit. --- Matty
