Busy Few Days


Over the weekend we had places to go and things to do.

Saturday, we went to Les Trois Palmiers restaurant  for lunch.  This is a fabulous restaurant with a great view of the beach.  



Wonderful food, especially the fish.  Here’s a link if you want to check it out:  http://bit.ly/1WKYCPt









Then some time for fun in the sun.















Check out the crazy rocks that look volcanic, except there aren't any volcanoes in Morocco.










Sunday, we planted a garden, hand cultivated by Khalifa.  




























                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                    The girls did a great job.  

Now the hardest part, waiting to see what comes up.  Nice, drenching rain last night so that will help.

Today, for my French lesson, my teacher and I visited the Mohammed VI Museum of modern and contemporary art.  Not much actual talking in French, though.  We have very similar tastes in art and quickly disparaged what we didn't like.  I'm going to have to buckle down on Monday.

Here's a couple of my favs.































And a snapshot of the elaborate lattice work on the building.

Walking home I snapped this pic of the Moroccain version of a wrecking ball.


Plans for the weekend include some shopping in the Medina and Kasbah, assuming the weather is more suitable for shopping than gardens.

  1. There MUST have been volcanoes at one time, though, right? Looks like fabulous fun in the sun.

    1. Not according to Joe. And the country is soaked with phosphates from fish bones as a result of being under water eons ago. He thought the rocks were very soft stones worn by the ocean

  2. Amazing pictures. I love that you all were barefoot in the garden.
