Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

First of all, the Jobinoffems are here!!! 

Second, we have a small problem.  We don’t know what time it is.  The problem didn’t come to light until this morning – the first time since we arrived that the time actually mattered.  Can you imagine not needing to know what time it is for 4 days?? 

We were discussing what time to leave for the airport and we realized that the time had changed on our iPhones, so we were 5 hours ahead of the US rather than 4.  I checked online and found some websites that said it was 4 hours later here and some that said it was 5.  I asked my niece, and she said it was the time on my iPhone.  Ben asked his brother-in-law, and he said it was one hour earlier.  I ended up watching the flight on flightaware.com, and when it got over Spain we drove to the airport. 

Apparently there is a time change coming on August 2nd, but somehow our phones have changed early.  We are being picked up tomorrow at 9:15 a.m…or is it 8:15 a.m…or 10:15 a.m.?  I’m confused.  Is it possible that all of the iPhones in Morocco and many websites are wrong?  I guess we’ll just embrace the Moroccan “makayn mooshkeel” (“it’s not a problem”) and hope for the best. 

Tomorrow’s itinerary includes a trip to Casablanca by mini-bus, to see the Hassan II Mosque and some other Casablanca landmarks.  Today’s post-airport events included a delicious meal of couscous with beef, a nap, a trip to the beach for the boys and Norah (the girls were sleeping), a lot of window-watching, and feeding the cats.  So far, so good.
