One more story about the adventure of driving in Morocco.
Besides getting lost various times and me getting a speeding ticket we had one more challenge: a flat tire on the way to the airport!
It happened on the Autoroute. Elizabeth skillfully got the car to the right shoulder and Susan warned the oncoming traffic while we tried to find the jack, spare tire, directions etc. No phone to reach any help...no jack in sight( who knew it was under the hood?)...all the luggage by the side of the road and time ticking down to airplane check-in. A truck stopped with 3 guys at the same time a highway assistance truck appeared and another Moroccan miracle took place. We were back on the road in record time, waving goodbye to another 4 "brothers". Made it to Casablanca in time. Needless to say our adrenalin was in overdrive.
It must have been harrowing - but I'm convinced that Morocco is the best place to have car trouble, including getting lost! Everyone is so kind. Glad you all made it out safely and are back home again. Jiggity jog...
