I worked at the Senior High resource room again for the day and then went for a run around the river trail after work. It was a rainy drive up to Philly and a brief wait in the alley outside Marrakesh. One of my favorite parts is that it's kind of hidden and you have to ring the bell to get in.

Kate and I went upstairs and made our choices for the meal and then began to salivate as we waited. You never wait long for the first of seven courses. It's just so much food. It's all amazing. Between the spiced veggies and bread then the sides, it's hard to eat any of the giant fruit bowl they bring out at the end. And of course the amazing baklava and green tea at the end. Mmmm.

We headed over to Northern Liberties to see The N Crowd improv comedy group. I hadn't seen them in quite a while and they were really good. They are quick and funny. I like that they use audience participation a lot.

We walked down to The Abbaye after the show for a couple of beers and then headed home after a nice late Valentine's night.

I worked at Memorial in the morning for a math teacher and then ran over to Nate's afterward to see how recording was going. The songs were coming together nicely and there were some new parts added in that sounded great.

I met up with Katie* later and we took the Rowan bus to South Street. We had dinner at Marrakesh and I got to try some of the vegetarian options this time. Everything was really good and the seven courses were just filling enough.

We slowly milked the fruit bowl because we couldn't really eat much more. The waiter didn't pour the tea the fun way like last time, they just brought it out. We had the same belly dancer as last time though!

We walked down to Penn's Landing after dinner until it was time for the bus to come back and get us. It was a good night and the weather was perfect for being outside.
