Morocco

 









Well you saw the camels, but that was only the beginning.  Our visit to Morocco has been a breathtaking experience.  Our amazing guide Isia took us from the Sahara through the Atlas Mountains to Fez and Chefchaouen.  In Fez we had an amazing guide, Mohammed, who is native to Fez and shared the history of his beautiful city.   The handicrafts in these cities are just amazing.  Made some small pottery purchases.  If you do not have Morocco on your bucket list then it is time to add it.  It is a beautiful country with amazing people.  They are so willing to share knowledge of their culture and religion.








Chefchaouen is nicknamed “The Blue City”.   It is located in the Rif mountain region.  All of these cities have a Kasbah (military fortress) surrounded by a Medina (walled city).  We spent a wonderful afternoon with our guide and fellow travelers, Heidi and John Lapp, strolling through the Medina.

Cape Town, S. Africa

 We arrived in Cape Town on March 2nd.  We immediately got a 2 day pass for the Hop On, Hop Off bus. What a great way to see Cape Town.  Cape Town is a beautiful city with a rich history, some good, some bad.  I rented a 2 bedroom Airbnb for two nights and invited our friend, Traci to join us.  It was very close to Table Mountain and near lots of great restaurants.  The bus has different lines.  The red line took us through the city and out along the coast,  Yesterday, we began our day with a walking tour of downtown Cape Town and then we took the Blue to the Purple which took us past beautiful homes and out to a winery where we had lunch.  We met Amy, a fellow American from Rockland County, NY who now lives in San Francisco. She joined us for lunch.  As we headed back to our Airbnb we drove past a township, so we saw how the Haves and Havenots in Cape Town live.  We again drove along the coasts for beautiful views.  Tomorrow T...

Tangier, Morocco

Had a lovely morning on a field program of bread making in the Medina of Tangier.  We learned how the Moroccans make their mint tea and their wheat bread.  Both were so delicious!  We walked our bread to the community oven.  While it was baking we learned all about the process of mixing spices for the tea.  Soon our bread arrived and we sat down to a wonderful meal!
