June 24 in Morocco

Morocco is very different from the US. I knew this, but being there shows me how different it is. There is trash everywhere. There are very poor people on the street. People try to sell you things all the time. Fortunately, our hotel was airy, quiet, and peaceful. I woke up in our hotel yesterday at about 8:00. I got dressed, and went downstairs where Baba was eating and chatting with some other hotel guests. I ate a few mini croissants, and drank some orange juice. Our plan for yesterday was to meet up with a tour guide at 9:00 and get a tour of Tangier. Our guide, an older man named Mohamed, arrived and we set off. It was lightly raining and a little bit chilly, despite it being summer and us being so close to the equator. We walked to a nearby bus, and were driven all over the city, with Mohamed telling us all about wherever we were. He seemed like a knowledgeable guy. After this we departed and started to walk on foot. We saw all sorts of different markets, from jewelry to fish. The fish and meat markets were particularly good for taking photos in. Here are some photos:  

We saw a whole bunch of things (and Baba even bought some rugs) on the tour, which lasted until about 3:00. We had to get a taxi to drive us back to the hotel. For the rest of the afternoon we relaxed, me reading the book that I'm currently enjoying. We had dinner on the roof o the hotel. I ate little more than the vegetable soup. We continued to relax and read, then sent to sleep.
