Excursion

This is going to come in many parts, because we went to about 12 different cities in Morocco in less than 8 days, there were mountains and deserts, cities and villages, ruins and monuments. One moment you can be looking at cacti in snow topped mountains and an hour later you can be looking at trees in the desert. It was beautiful, if exhausting, and made me fall in love with Morocco all over again. Some overall impressions before I get into the specifics: there seems to be two different macro cultures in Morocco, that of the north and cities, and another of the south and deserts. Even in smaller places up north the hijab was the standard international one and the food and bread was relatively similar. Down south, women started wearing more traditional veils, they kept more away from strangers, and there seemed to be much more African as opposed to Middle Eastern influence.
