Connie in Morocco and Beyond

These are my travel experiences beginning with my Peace Corps service in Morocco from 2006-2008. At the request of friends and my own desire to document, I continued blogging my journeys to other countries as well as in the U. S., including my service as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer in South Africa for most of 2014. This blog will continue as my travel journal.

ESSAOURIA. Last visit to this oceanside town. On beaches, one sees everything, and Morocco is no exception. Here are some beachers from France on the left, and "locals" on the right. Some women remain scarved and fully dressed; other Moroccan women who may wear scarves and jellabas in their village, will don swimming suits when they get away from home and on the beach. The photo on the lower left is of a castle ruins. The story is that it is the basis of Jimmy Hendrix's song "Castles in the Sand;" however, it is also reported that he did not visit Morocco until a year after the song came out. In case one doesn't get all their exercise walking the beach, you can go to the place of "musculation" as show on the sign.
