Travels in Morocco Part I

Road Trip Destination Part I: Oyster Farm






I have been really bad at posting these days. Maybe in part because I don't feel like I have anything extraordinary to share anymore. There are thousands of blogs on people's travels, many much more detailed, eloquent and informative than mine. But since this blog is mainly for my close friends, it is something more personal than just sharing information, or updating you on what I have been up to. It is just as much as a learning experience for me, to 'reflect' upon what I am experiencing, as a learning experience for the small amount of followers who read my sparse posts.

So here I am....
2 weeks left in Morocco
The past two weeks I have done a lot of traveling throughout the country. It makes me feel like there is so much more to see now! I wish I had a paid job and more time to see more isolated parts of this amazing country.
I have been to Tanger, Asilah, Oudalyia, Essaouria, Marrakech, passed through Agadir, and stayed in Immouzer.

My favorite things were seeing the vast untouched coastline as we headed down to Essaouria and staying in the isolated high atlas moutains in Immouzer. I really wanted to ride a camel in the Sahara desert, but we didn't have enough time to drive through the snowy mountains and reach the desert. So I'll  just have to come back to Morocco again for more exploration!

Tyler arrives and we book into a funny hotel in Casablanca for the night


We stop in Oualidia for oysters!

Very happy with my glass of pinot gris
