Back in Casablanca again. We arrived from Marrakech in time for lunch and a short tour of the city. There was some new stuff for me to see so that was good. After a rest, a very classy meal at Ricks Cafe. Lamb shank and vegetables, delicious!

This trip with Cosmos was great. I’m easily pleased so I thought the food and hotels were just fine. Our tour director is fabulous. He’s a Brit who’s been here in Morocco for 20 years, speaks 5 languages and is really funny. 

The arranged transportation allowed me to see things I’d never have figured out how to see on my own. The other guests are mostly great and I’m glad I spent the money.

Tomorrow I start working on the trip home. One more night in Casablanca, two in London, then Portland. 

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Lovely, cool day in Marrakech. Saw the local historic mosque, some rediscovered tombs, visited a Berber pharmacy, and lastly the main square and market.

Delightfully sunny, not too hot, nice lunch, little bit of shopping…very nice.

Tomorrow it’s back to Casablanca for the last tour day.

Terrible Wi-Fi for the next two days. I’ll make it quick. 

Good day on the bus going over the Atlas mountains again. Out of the Sahara and into a BIG tourist area.

Will enjoy the big market tomorrow buying all kinds of crap I don’t need lol

Happy birthday Beth at 601!

Nice little day in the market in Rissani, the closest nearby town with the main market for the area. Lots of shade and fairly pushy salesmen, so pluses and minuses evened out.

Time off in the afternoon, and I had a little walk to Erfoud, just one kilometer down the road. The local kids were very excited to see me, but unfortunately the only English words they seemed to know are hello and Fuck You. So…..several fuck you’s later, I found the snack market lol.

Also, a sandstorm happened. So that was cool.

Today, a bus ride to an oasis, several casbah, and Ouarzazate, the film capitol of Morocco.

Happy birthday Mom!
