April 19

I cannot CanNOT believe what happened this morning. Everything has run so smoothly time after time year after year I just forgot to be careful. Don’t use ATM machines when the bank is closed! Plan ahead! Because the ATM Machine ATE MY CARD. My atm card is g.o.n.e. gone. It’s Saturday morning, I’m due to leave Fez and I have No Money. This is going to be interesting…

I did leave Fez owing Louis about thirty bucks and arrived in Tangier with enough dirham for some food, and enough euro for taxis and simple eats until Monday, planning to get to Lisbon where there is an American Express office and use credit cards for everything until then.
