In Taghazout...
Today we arrived in the beautiful, quaint village of Taghazout. It is incredibly peaceful here. We rented an apartment overlooking the beach for the next two days. It's refreshing to hear the waves crashing below us. It's the perfect spot for some reflecting and beaching. The town is dotted with surf shops and is fairly undiscovered by those outside of the surfing circuit. Just steps away the brightly painted fishing boats go out to sea to bring home their daily catch. Tonight we will cook up some flounder and veggies. Chris may even make us a little apple crumble!
On Thursday, we will head to another fishing town, Essaouira. Known as the windsurfing capital of Morocco, we will learn how to surf and enjoy some Gnawa music, which is Essaouira's current claim to fame (in addition to Jimi Hendrix spending some time there) since it is the spot where the International Gnawa Music Festival is held every summer.
