« Safe Arrival in Fes | Main | It's my first day in Morocco and this is what surprised me most! »

The coolest thing I've seen today was...

After quite le voyage in which we landed in a chilly dawn morning in Casablanca the group preceded to check out everything the city of 5 million people had to offer, including one of the largest mosques in the world, good ole Rick's Cafe, and delicious food at Sqala. But that wasn't enough, so we jumped in our minivan and headed on to Fes where between bouts of making up for lost sleep we enjoyed le paysage autour de nous.

The following are everyone's reaction to what they thought was the coolest thing they'd seen in the whirlwind tour that brought us from Connecticut to New York to Casablanca to Fes in less than a day and a half...
