*dimsumdolly* - the different morsels of the life of a foodie

Moroccans

Three girls sitting in front of the entrance of a mosque in Tanger, Morocco. I like the expressions on their faces. There were many children running around in the narrow lanes of the old town called the Casbah. Most people living there were living in very poor conditions. The buildings were really old and not well maintained, but there was a lot of character in these old streets. Lots to explore...like a real labyrinth. You'll come across small bakeries, grocery stores, tailors, pottery shops, etc.

The poorer families still had to take water from a public tap! It's been so long since I travelled to a country which has people still doing this.

Morocco definitely deserves a whole trip in itself to explore the country. Just a day-trip to Tanger only scrapes the top of the iceberg.

I went on a day-tour which was filled with Americans. A few Americans is fine. But a busload full of them is too hard to take! But I wouldn't recommend doing it without a tour anyhow. Seriously, the Casbah is a labyrinth. There weren't any street signs at all. Without a local guide, you'll be sure to lose your way!
