A Whole Other Continent!

Still in a picture posting drought, but I´ll fix it when we get home if nothing else... BUT...

Yesterday we went to Morocco! And we came back! Alive! Aggravated, but alive!
If I had to describe Tangiers, I would say that it is corrupt from top to bottom. I have never seen anything like it. At any step short of taking a breath, there is someone there to scam you. Someone is probably working on a way to charge you for breathing too, so stay tuned for that. It was interesting, though. We saw a snake charmer, went to a place that sells spices and one that sells rugs, plus all of the little stalls in the medina (the old part of the city). We went to what was billed as a ¨typical¨ Moroccan restaurant and had a FANTASTIC meal while musicians played. The lunch and our camel ride were probably the best parts of the day... that, and leaving. I kept singing ¨Happiness is Lubbock Texas in my rear view mirror¨and trying to replace Lubbock with variations of Morocco, Tangiers, Crazy Mexicano guy, etc while the ferry pulled out.

I´ll have to spend more time describing Tangiers later, because there is a lot LOT more to tell, but for now.. we are off to drive along the Mediterranean again. Tonight and tomorrow we will finally visit Ayo, the paella man!! We both can´t wait for this one.
