That's all Folks!

Well...I am sitting in the Charles De Gaulle airport in France waiting for my flight back home. Time went so quickly this year. I met some great folks when I left Spain and returned to Morocco.

I was walking down the street looking to change my Euros to Dirhams and I overheard an American English accent. The next thing you know I am staying with a couple from Miami in an amazing house in the casbah! The views were outstanding from the rooftop terrace, you could see all of the way to Spain. I will try attaching more photos.

Well Ben and Dara took me under their wings and gave me the royal treatment. I was even invited to have a traditional Moroccan lunch with a friend, Shookri, who apparently is some big wig in Tangier. The meal was an amazing five courses including a giant tagine and home made couscous. And of course, the national drink, mint tea, was served for the finale.

So I feel really blessed to have experienced a true Tangerine lifestyle. I felt protected and coveted. It really changed my initial perspective of Morocco. I was even driven back to Rabat, rather than the typical bus/train ride. From there I left for Paris, where I am now.

I arrived last night at 10pm. Not much time to sightsee, plus everything was closed. Besides the Eiffel Tower. Notice Lefty's reappearance at this structural marvel.
