Morocco






I went to morocco wednesday night and got in at around 830. We went to our hotel and then wqlked around for a while and got some dinner. We ate lamb and bread. Then the next day we took a tour and this is the first thing we on the tour it is a mask. The people there are mostly muslim.








This is the square. They had snake charmers and different kind of things in the square. There were a lot of shops.











This was in the square. Some people had monkeys on a chain and would walk around trying to get people to take pictures with them. In morocco if you want a picture with someone you have to pay for the picture. So I decided to take a picture with a monkey.











We went to a museum during the tour and there was a room full of swords like these.












This was the chandeliers in the main room it is really huge and magnifacent.












This was at the museum. I really like all the artwork and how precise the whole thing is done. You can tell that the people who worked on this worked a long time on it. They used stencils to make this. They didn't have tools that did it for you.








This was in a musuem . It used to be inside a mask but the moved it into this musuem. I thought it was amazing because it had a lot of that stencil work that took forever. It is amazing what people can do with just a few things.











We went to a shop that sold scarfs/turbans. So the guy wanted us to buy a truban so he showed us how to put one on.












We took a carriage ride to the square and back.












We saw a mcdonald's there and thought it was cool that it was in english and arabic.
