Back in Accra but not yet to back to the Upper West
I received great medical care for
my teeth while in Morocco. The doctors
also worked on my sore shoulder – nothing major – a bruised muscle that will
take more than a few months to heal. And
then I have a recurring problem growing a fungus in my ear canal – so that is
also being treated.
The food and the people of Morocco are great. I stayed in Rabat but was able to chat with some of the local Peace Corps Volunteers. I left Morocco on Friday night/Saturday morning.
I’m now back in Ghana, but I cannot get out of Accra until Monday night as the bus is full for Saturday night and Sunday night. So it will be a little bit longer before I get to site on Tuesday afternoon. I should get some teaching in and I will check on my other projects. However, I’m also to come back for an ENT visit to check up on my ears in a couple of weeks.
I don’t have a lot to say this time, so I figured I would show a few pictures of Morocco.
I am glad that I was able to see a small part of Morocco (Maroc) and wonder if I will get a chance to visit in again. (While hoping not to visit again as part of a medical issue.)
Love always
John

View of a small river leading into the ocean with the old city on the left. |
Cannon are displayed on a part of the fort at the top of the hill. |
This part of the old city has a blue paint from Portugal on the bottom and white on top - common throughout this old part of the city. |
Old housing does not mean that satellite dishes are prohibited. |
Looking down on the beach area. |
A small part of the cemetery by the ocean. |
Part of the old wall and stairs - and someone walking down a motorcycle |
Cats are everywhere in Rabat - they all seem well feed. |
Part of the gardens by to old city |
The really old city - the ruins of Chellah |
Some of the ruins within the site |
Storks nest in many ares of the ruins and can be seen flying around the area. The missing top of the minaret fell to the weight of the storks nests |
Another view of the ruins with some of the newer city in the background. |
A clementine tree. Citrus grows well in the area. All of the orange juice in restaurants and sold be street vendors is fresh squeezed. |
