Last post for this trip...

We are still in Essaouira, but it's raining, and we will be driving back to Marrakech in it. We get in to Marrakech at 4, and have our last night in Morocco. Tomorrow, we fly to Paris for the night, then back to Toronto the next day! For the most part, it's been a great trip...full of "geez, never seen THAT before"! I have discovered how they came up with the name for Morocco! If you look cloesly at any of my landscape shots, you would see lots of this...

Get it? Mor rocc o.....oh geez, do I have to spell it out for you...More Rock Oh! Ok, forget it. So they surf in Essaouira...

We had dinner with Nellie and Andy (Australians) in a rooftop restaurant, overlooking the rather rough ocean...

...and this little old lady wanted to surf, but I talked her out of it...

Sunset was very nice...

After the sun went down, this guy was out on a rock that looked like he was about to get swept away...

...but didn't. That's it for Morocco!

Essaouira by the sea

We lost 4 of our group cuz they arent fancy like we are!!! Patty and Don, Sharon and Trevor went other places, and we continued on! 8 of us had a farewell dinner in Marrakech the night before...

We left Marrakech early in the morning, in a new van, with a new driver that seems to want to break the land speed record! Essaouira is on the west coast of Morocco...finally sunny and warm! We get here about 1pm and check into our rooms right on the beach! Pretty fancy...

Did I mention that the hotel is right on the beach?

I forgot...on the drive from Marrakech we stopped by this old abadoned house...

Imagine the lives that have lived there...Anyway, once we got there, it was time for lunch...we went to the fish market to buy some fish...the cats and the seagulls loved it there!

Went to a little restaurant where they cooked up the fish...

After that I went looking for heads, and found these...

...but my fav was this guy...

We have 2 days left in Morocco...18 days have gone by very quickly, but TLD will be glad to get home. Back to snowy Toronto, and rainy Vancouver...but Canada is a pretty good landing place. We have a day off today...maybe the rooftop bar, and watch the sun go down...or a nap!

Marrakech Express!

We haven't had intenet for the last few days, so I've got a ton of photos for ya! We ended up in Marrakech 2 nights ago...but to get there, we had to cross the Atlas Mountains again...\More high wind, and snow blowing off the top of the mountain...

We were so high up that you could almost you could almost touch the moon!

Life can be hard here...

We were on a little windy road that was shit down in a few places because of rock slides...here is Dora the Explorer ...
