An afternoon à la plage

---

After class today, Roger and I took a walk to the beach to meet some friends. We took the scenic route and I practiced my photography skills. Enjoy the pictures! Tomorrow, we go to Casablanca.

On another note, I committed to the Commerce school today! I am concentrating in marketing. It was definitely a tough decisions (talk about two paths diverged!) but I am very excited for the next two years. It is definitely going to be a tough curriculum but I am really looking forward to the smaller school experience.

The Gambas Burger!
I am sure many have heard that McDonald's changes its menu based on the taste of its local customers. In Morocco they have the Gambas burger. While I am yet to try one of these savory treats, I see this ad on my way to class everyday and thought I would share it with you. Coming soon: my first Gambas burger experience.

On our way to the beach
After class, Roger and I walked home, changed, and headed to the beach on foot. As you can see in this picture Rabat's streets are pretty green.

Mosque
Other than the five daily prayers from the iman, there are occasional prayer sessions during the night that wake me up.

Moroccan Driving Habits
Pedestrian's do NOT have the right of way in Morocco.

Balnéaire
Seaside buildings.

Hello
I guess these guys realized I was taking a picture. Nice of them to wave.

Fellow explorer
Roger, affectionately known as Mohamed by our host family, trekking along the coast. Mohamed is a Turkish film star on an Arabic television show that looks like Roger.

Old Police Station
I took this picture because I thought the Star of David in the window was interesting. There was actually a substantial Jewish population in Morocco at one point but after WWII many moved to Israel.

Someone left their keys on a rock
Probably to go swimming.

Waste Management
Roger and I walked along between the rocky coast you see in the pictures and an elevated road that was just over this crest. The spot in between where we were walking had a lot of trash, including this little stream and what looked like most of a car scattered about.
