Hey there ya all,

So it am sitting on my bed at the moment e-mailing you from my new laptop. It arrived today and i am so excited!!!! I will be able to keep in contact as i never have been able to before.

Right, so the last blog left off in...Rabat. Now Rabat if you recall is the beginning of the ...end...so to speak.

Great city, as it is the capital of the country. Got to see the mosulium for King Mohammed and King Hossain. It was a rather stunning area. This is a picture of the ceiling and it is made of 24 K gold.

Sale is Rabat's twin city and it is across the river. I love this picture. The fishermen take their catch and sell in the local soques (markets).

Sale is one of my favourite places in Morocco. You can just tell that the people that live there have not seen many tourists...or white people for that matter. They were very nice, and very interested in the three girls wandering around. The soques were genuine as the locals do not have fridges to keep things they would shop everyday for meat and veg. The animals (beef/ chicken/ lamb/ fish) are all very fresh...to the sound of clucking as the chickens were in walking around in pen areas and... "prepared" as they were ordered. It is not unusual to see women and children walking around with a live chicken under their arm, or a lamb on a string. Very different than what we see everyday. This boy and his father are selling sheep to a locals that require one for an upcomming festival.

Then we checked out some local buildings, the mosque, library, school, military museum. It was kinda cool. We had aquired a guide and got to see and do some amazing things. We had to bribe a military guard to let us have axcess to one part of the museum. We got to walk across the top of a wall in order to get a great view of the city.

Check this out:

In the Islamic faith there are three sacred materials used in the construction of buildings (mosques, city halls, rich peoples houses, libraries, etc.) and they are 1) cedar, 2) mosaics, and 3) a special grass.

Here is Ange crossing across the wall. I know it does not look that hight...but it WAS, and i made it across twice.

K, More to come. TTYL M.
