june 8-10 stuck in casablanca

in true marley fashion, something has to go wrong on every trip i go on! this time it happened to be in morocco... which conveniently happens to be a muslim country. we loaded what we thought to be our last plane to get to libreville. no joke, not even 5 minutes later we were told that everyone needed to get off the plane. no explanation. i thought maybe there was something wrong with the plane... i was wrong. turns out the president of gabon died and they shut down all the borders and communication in gabon. not convenient for 2 canadians traveling to gabon! but, to make the story short, we found our way to the hotel where we were supposed to wait until we could fly out - not sure when that would be. the next day, after sleeping for 16 hours (we missed breakfast and lunch unintentionally) our mother's somehow contacted us! they told us that some international workers were coming to pick us up. so, we ended up going to the school where they worked/lived. it was actually pretty cool cause we got to see more of casa! the next day we were able to fly out to libreville!
