1. After 10 days in Morocco, we have NOT seen (a) any roadkill and (b) any supermarket.
2. After 10 days in Morocco we have seen (a) lots of garbage everywhere and (b) an agricultural paradise with orange orchard, olive trees, millions of olive trees, bananas, cork oak trees, agaves, fields for grain / currently harvested, garbanzo beans, etc. the soil has different shades from Sandy beige, to red, to dark brown. We’ve seen many sheep, goats, chickens, donkeys and mules; also many stray dogs and cats. But still, no roadkill. We haven’t seen any wasps or mosquitos, only bees, who try to reclaim their honey from the breakfast table.
3. After 10 days in Morocco, it rained!
4. Driving around the north of Morocco for 10 days reminds us of California. A lot!
5. 10 days ago we were not prepared of how friendly the people are, how good the food tastes and how amazing their craft skills are!
6. After 10 days in Morocco we learned that the restaurant portions are always generous because it would be sign of stinginess if you get served “just enough”. If food is left, it will never be thrown away. Restaurant workers, hungry people, animals, everybody else will get fed. So it’s ok to leave food you cannot eat!
7. Driving around for 10 days through many cities, towns, and villages, the pretties, nicest, most colorful, most modern buildings everywhere are the schools!
8. Morocco’s favorite sport is soccer. Every little village has a soccer field, every child on the street kicks balls, soccer games on the beaches everywhere. Morocco also has a professional women soccer national team.
