Morocco - The land of the setting sun!

"Traveling.  It leaves you speechless, 

then turns you into a storyteller..."

                                                        Ibn Battuta - Moroccan Explorer 

We are so blessed to travel, to see the world.  Morocco has been on our

 list for a long time.  Excited to share our nine day journey with you. 

 Morocco is just a bit bigger than the state of Texas.  The Mediterranean 

is on the northern shores and the Atlantic Ocean is on the western coastline. 

Part of the country faces Europe, while the rest stretches over the Saharan 

dunes and rocky plateau.  There are varied landscapes from the desert to the

Atlas Mountains - with most of the country enjoying a hot, dry climate. 

Day 1 - Off to Morocco - First stop Casablanca!

Abdoul was our driver throughout the country. 

Now we know him as our friend!

 We are in Casablanca!

 The tile and wood work is AMAZING!

Checking into the Hotel Val d'Anfa
