Train View from Tangiers to Fez
Jessica thinking that the train is hot....little did we know....
Our friend we met on the Fes Train. She's having her first baby, and she was so sweet!
Our first vegetarian Tagine, Fes.
Youth Hostel in Fes. They had a 10pm curfew - we're thinking it was more to prevent us from having fun. But it ended up forcing us all to have long conversations with our hostel mates well into the night. ;)
Breakfast - just like the French (its former "colonizer") Morroccon's love cafe au lait with pattisseries
Our cab driver in France - who was PISSED that our tour guide asked him to wait while we took pictures of the royal palace. we left him 5 extra durham.
The entrance to the "medina" or old city. Little we did know what laid behind....
YUM!
Our tour guide. He spent many years in California, fell in love with a rich woman in Maryland, and now teaches arabic and french in Morrocco.
Vegetarians - don't look inside the crate :)
You can buy ANYTHING at the Medina (the old town - where everyone shops - if you dare hassle)
An old school built by Fatima...a rich woman who made many contributions to morrocco
A Real Estate Agency in the Medina
The keys to houses for sale. I'm not even kidding...
Our guide had many, many, many life lessons to impart. many, many, many. here's jessica looking realllllyyy interested
Everyone makes their own bread dough at home, and brings it to this man to bake!
Hordes of tourists.
A beauty salon? In a muslim country ;)...
For weddings, Morroccons always give dates and sweets - prophecies of a good, sweet life.
A Mosque
Mint tea, which we drank - EVERYWHERE
The tanneries - dying leather
um...that can't be good for his health....
Yet ANOTHER store owner trying to guilt us into buying stuff. Jessica and our friends from the Hostel look REALLLY annoyed ;) hAH!
Friends from the hostel
British Friends from the Hostel in Fez
John - an american travelling in Morrocco to take photos. he had beacoup d'advice for us.
The Jewish Cemetery in Fez....there are now only about 150 Jewish Orthodox Families in Fez, but they were once numerous and held favor with the King.
Candles lit for a young jewish girl, who was martyred because she refused to convert.
The king in Morrocco has many palaces. None of which you can go into. You gotta wonder how he passes his time.
Chicken tagine with citrus
Fanta! Jessica's new favorite drink. Soda's in Morrocco are made with ACTUAL sugar.
It was so hot, we had to spend an afternoon at a hotel pool.
...here's Amin...who we met at the pool.
uh...yeah....he's a cutie.
Jessica bought her bracelet from this nice young man. Then he made us tea. Essouira
Essouira
"Crevettes" - shrimp in Essouira
EVERYONE is beautiful in Morrocco
Little kids having a parade in honor of the King..
The morroccon flag
Pick your fish and they grill it up!
Dam, wish I had taken this photo,,,but the guy that made this book got it first.
Pizza Hut in Marrakesh...
um. yeah. one of our taxi drivers called McDonalds the "american embassy"
Marrakesh, reminded me of how I felt about South America - it pretty much looks like Queens
...Except this part
Yes, Uncle Ronnie - they have golf in Morrocco
A mirage in the middle of the dessert. There's LOTS of rich people in Morrocco...
And lots of hot people too. Temperatures reached 50...(celsius)!...
...to convert celsius to farenheit, double the number and add 20. (hint. it was about 120 degrees, and i decided it was better to move 1 inch every 2 minutes...Like the morroccans!!!
Kebab!
An Old King's Palace in Marrakesh - we stayed in the cellars because it was coollllerr...
Another King's Palace...this one, he still uses part of.
Our Last Tagine in Morrocco at our amazing Riad Gallia
I asked for vegetarian, but either my french was bad or Simo..our waiters... who knows!
