| Morocco is a beautiful country. We enjoyed a variety of scenery on our drive to Fes from the cedars in the Rif Mountains to the rolling hills of olive trees and wheat fields further south. During our travels, we stopped often to ask Moroccan policemen for directions as the road signs weren�t easy at times to follow. We saw more donkeys and mules during these two days than we had seen in our entire life as both were still widely used for both work and travel in the rural areas. On our drive through the small villages in the Rif Mountains it was common to see only men sitting at the coffee bars. As we were hungry we stopped at one of these restaurants for lunch, and yes, Imke and I were very aware that we were the only women. We will always remember our lunch there. It consisted of sardines, the only dish served. Butcher paper was our plate, and we ate with our fingers. |
