Here and there

July 3, 2003

I am sending you 3 photos this time from Casablanca, Morocco. Photos (1) & (2) are from the new Medina in Casablanca. The old medina is more authentic. Walking through the sooqs (bazars) feels like you stepped back in time 300-400 years, but the neighborhood was a little rough and I decided not to take the camera out of my backpack. I know, I know... old age is catching up with me, but I was without a guide and alone. The 3rd photo above is from the Mosque Hassan II (Hassan Al-Thani, for those of you interested in Arabic), supposedly the 2nd largest religious monument in the Islamic world, after Mecca. The best parts were areas inside the mosque I was not allowed to photograph.

I have already left Casablanca and I am more impressed by other cities in Morocco.
More photos later...
