Streets in the Medina
The Medina is the old part of the city and is a maze of alleys with ships, people, scooters, cars and horse & buggies.
Moroccan Cookies for Thanksgiving
In Marrakech, we found a cafe that also offers cooking classes. While sitting down for a snack and an Orangina, we started talking to the two women next to us. They had just finished up their cooking class as part of their trip; both American with one currently living in London. Since they had extra cookies, they offered us some as they said “happy Thanksgiving”.
It was a nice gesture from like-minded travelers.
Highest Pass in Morocco
We drove over the High Atlas Mountains today, and at 2,260 meters, it’s the highest pass in the country (I think). See http://www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco/to-tizi-n-tichka
