We are in Rabat, Morocco awaiting suitable weather and wind for the two day passage to Agadir, our final stop in Morocco. Other than one day devoted to toilet repair, most of our time has been spent on tourist activities.   The three of us took a three day train trip to Casablanca and Marrakesh.  Our visit will leave us with lasting memories.   Here is our top ten memories list so far: 

1.  waiting six hours for high tide outside Rabat harbor and then surfing Georgia j into the river and marina.

2.  touring the ancient fortresses and towns of Rabat, Sale and Marrakesh.

3.  washing down the couscous with Moroccan beer in a sidewalk cafe in Casablanca.

4.  visiting the amazing new Hassan II mosque in Casablanca.

5.  Our knowledgeable, articulate guide in Marrakesh who cheated us at the end of the tour.

6. The snake charmers (cobras) and trained monkeys in the grand square of Marrakesh.

7.  Bargaining with street vendors and shop owners with occasional success.

8.  Touring the leather tannery in Marrakesh, a truly hellish place.

9.  Riding the modern Moroccan trains and seeing the donkey traffic jams in crowded streets.

10. Walking to our hotel in the labyrinth of Marrakesh alleys where even the guides were lost.

 Our camera has died, so our thanks goes to Harold for the following great photos:
