For Jessie’s birthday she got together a big group of friends to go to Mamounia’s last night. Kim and I weren’t hungry, but were required to order food, so we got an appetizer and some soup. Later the waitress came out and told us that they would have to charge us each an extra $5 since we didn’t order a meal. Very lame. I had already spent $20 on drinks. So we got a couscous dish. The only price on the menu was for the $18 five course meal, which was just too much.
Aside from the lack of prices on the menu and the inflexible ordering options, the place was really nice. The couscous dish was tastier than I expected (it sounded boring on the menu), and the belly dancing was awesome. Jessie got up and danced with the belly dancer and it looked like she had practiced. I didn’t know anyone, but the group of people Jessie assembled was really interesting and fun. There were so many people our age who also loved traveling and working for good causes. It really makes me want to just pick up, and head out traveling right now, but I need to wait just a little longer until this wedding thing is settled.
