Home of the tangerine.
Back in November, Mike and I did a little tour of northern Morocco. We started the journey with an overnight train to Tangier. This was my second overnighter to Tangier having done so a month earlier when my mom visited. I must say, I think two is plenty. The trouble with arriving somewhere at 7am having slept in your clothing is that you don’t feel very fresh. Mike and I weren’t able to check into our hotel room until later in the day and therefore were left to wander around Tangier feeling a bit daggy.
When I started looking through and whittling down photos from our time in Tangier, I noticed that about half of my photos were of cats. No big surprise there. Don’t worry, a baby kitty post will be on its way shortly. Here are a few cat-free photos from the first part of our brief stay in Tangier:
The street our hotel is on. We had to bang on the door multiply times to get someone to let us in at 8am.
This woman walked her three chickens from the medina on leashes so they could graze at the park.
Ok, so those photos weren’t quite cat-free. Did you catch the beautiful black cat that snuck in there?
xo, jill
So, so pretty! Those first pictures with the arches actually made my heart clench with longing they are so evocative. I’d love to visit Morocco one day!
(And I agree the night trains aren’t all they’re cracked up to be—I can pretty much sleep anywhere EXCEPT on trains, it would seem. So even without the whole aspect of wandering around in clothes you’ve slept in, I still feel groggy and cotton-headed.)

Overnight trains always SEEM like a good idea… 😉
I saw the kitty and am very excited for baby kitty post. Also, Moroccan food?? Please? Snacks?

Your enthusiasm for Moroccan posts is what has kept me motivated to blog the past few days! Kitties coming right up! Moroccan food on the other hand…I’m so sick of it at this point that there won’t be any posts about it anytime soon! But maybe one day… 😉
So many pretty doorways! And I love that mosaic wall / bench. Amazing!
