Back in Morocco and going to fav places and doing fun things.
We had the traditional Friday evening meal in Morocco, couscous. Much more elaborate than the way I serve it. I use it as a side dish for fish or chicken, but this is a whole meal.

| Couscous with meat, veggies and chickpeas |
Saturday we went for a visit to the medina
 |
| A side street. And, yes, this is a street. Motorbikes roam the medina |
to do a bit of shopping
 |
| Shoppers and wares |
 |
| This is the scarf I bought |
then home to pick mulberries
 |
| The mulberry tree in the garden |
and make mulberry preserves
 |
| Delicious! Tastes a lot like figs |
For Mother’s Day we all went to Les Trois Palmiers for lunch. Check out the fish baked in salt, one of their specialties.
 |
| The white mound on the right is the fish |
They have to crack open the salt crust to serve the fish. Not salty, just baked deliciousness.

| Peeling off the salt |
And fruit torte to die for. Didn't last long enough for me to take a picture.
The restaurant is right on the beach, and the surf and sea looked very familiar. Oh, right. Morocco is on the Atlantic, except on the east side.
Beautiful flowers along a street I’ve walked down frequently back and forth to my dentist. A bit more about that later.
Love the pictures accompanying your travelogue, Morocco looks glorious. And so lush and colourful. I've heard of baking fish in a salt crust before but I've not tried it yet - something to add to my "to-do" list.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos - I was in Morocco as a kid. Are those flowers Bougainvillea - I know they grow in Spain.
ReplyDeleteLoved this visit through Rabat. Yum on the fish and the couscous too. And the deep pink flowers might be bougainvillea.
