Our first stop along the Atlantic coast was at the ocean where we got to ride
camels...felt super touristy. It was raining a bit, but the ocean was beautiful. Got a shell. Continued to Asilah.
Asilah is a smaller beach town that's very touristy in the summer I guess, but it was pretty quiet due to the time of year and it was drizzling a bit on and off. The medinah of the city (old city)is very beautiful. Each year they repaint everything white and people pain murals on the walls or blue to ward of mosquitoes in the summer. Views of the ocean were amazing.
When we first entered a man was selling sweets to Alan bought us all something. I had a baklava with peanuts-type thing. Very delicious. We had a guide, but he didn't do much except walk in front of us and tell us about the wall painting and that the design of the bricked-ground was the represent the waves of the ocean.
Got back in the bus for 3 hour drive to Rabat. Stopped about 2 hours in for a bathroom break and snacks: dates, figs, cookies. Had a nice nap in the bus before we discussed our home-stays.
