Without further ado...
Welcome to Rabat.
The old part of the city. (No, I promise we didn't go to Greece no matter how much it looks like it.)
We had tea and cookies! (I didn't even try to eat the cookies. That tea is the most delicious stuff ever, however, and has enough sugar in it so it's basically like a dessert anyway.)
Ocean!
The Changing of the Guard, Morocco-style. (Apparently they color code the horses. Yes, really.)
I fell in love with the concept of making letters and words themselves the art. Astonishing.
Tomb.
If you've never had tagine before, go to a legitimate Moroccan restaurant and order it. It's world-changing. This is chicken with almonds and preserved lemon.
And this is some sort of chili paste (yes, it's as hot as it looks) that I delightfully smeared all over my chicken and then relished the sensation of my lips burning for half an hour after. Spices!!!!!
This dessert is more my style. Oranges covered in powdered sugar, cinnamon, mint and orange flower oil. (No almond paste required!)
And then we drove to Meknes! (Yes, that was only half of one day.)
Mosque.
No shoes, of course.
Coming soon: Fez! (My favorite part.)
