I'm Heeeeeerrrrrreeeee!

Flight took off from JFK about an hour late because of mechanical issues.   Totally smooth flight, great service, so so food.  We arrived in Rabat about 11:30 am.  Our tour director is Mohammed and our bus driver is Mohammed (sounds like a VERY popular name).  Once I got my room, I dropped my bags and headed out to explore.  Very, very busy capital city.  Found the Hassan II Tower,

Mausoleum of Mohammed V (grandfather of the present King, Mohammad VI),

 walked down Rue du Consuls (main shopping street in the old town)

and purchased two pendants (Hand of Fatima and a Fibula).

 

The locals are so friendly.  I totally forgot that the connector used to upload photos to my iPad for the blog are different.  The connector has the wide connection - what a bummer.   Will have to figure out something.    Also, over half the group of the travelers in our group are quite a bit younger than me.  Wonder if I can keep up.
