Casablanca, Morocco

We arrived safely in Casablanca none worse for the wear. The biggest adjustment is to this french keyboard, which is not labelled correctly on the keys. It took a bit of experimentation to find the period so I could log into a website.

So far today we have had a sandwich at a popular little local bistro; bought bus tickets to Oualidia for tomorrow; walked around a few pedestrian only streets; sipped a mint tea at a sidewalk cafe; and explored the medina. The medina is packed with little stores and has great photo ops.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the lack of hassling; we have seen very few other tourists, perhaps because it is early in the season. (I cannot find the apostrophe on the keyboard and so feel like Data from Star Trek). The weather is very comfortable, mid 20s with a slight breeze.

Tonight we are having dinner in the hotel restaurant, which is supposed to be quite good.
