valentines day

for valentines day we took a day trip to a east coach beach to watch the more hard core surfers hit some big waves- which was pretty amazing having just found out how exhausting the sport can be. We drove their by way of our trusty moped--it was however somewhat of a long trip for a place where the only rule of the road is to watch your knees as you get passed by 3 vehicles in a 1.5 lane road!!

the small "village" was located a top cliff a few hundred feet above the beach

- the views were spectacular

once we climbed down 3,847 steps to the beach we climbed through some caves to get to a more private beach on the otherside that some fellow travelers tipped us off on (we did not however get notice that we needed to watch the tide as we might not make it out for awhile...we barely made it without having to swim!!)

later that night we went to a morrocan restaurant for some valentines day feasting. the space was very beautiful as there were tons of morrocan lanterns and stainglass pendant lights hanging from the ceiling which gave light to all the gold, silks, and interesting metal and wood carvings.
