Casablanca

So far Casablanca is not outstanding, but not bad either. After arriving yesterday, Michele and I went out for dinner and called it an early night. One interesting observation was that a large number of street vendors appeared on the pedestrian boulevard outside our hotel some time after 9 pm.

This morning we visited the Mosque Hassan II, which is the thrid largest religious building in the world. The architecture and craftsmanship were amazing, and almost all the building materials, most of which was marble, came from Morocco. This afternoon we will visit the colonial section of town to see the Art Decco buildings before we head off to Marrakech on the Marrakech Express.
