Photos from Morocco

---

Lucas & I visited Morocco for 5 days (returned this past Sunday). My friend and colleague Karen lives there with her husband Adil, and 2 children - Amira and Salah. We had a great time visiting Rabat & Casablanca, and Lucas loved playing with his new friends.

Dining in the old medina
This was our guide to the restaurant in the old medina. Basically, he walked us through some narrow streets, and knocked on a non-descript door taht used to be a house, and they turned in a restaurant. Would've been tough to find it otherwise.

Dining in old Medina
The 3 kids dining with us at Dinarjat, a wonderful traditional Moroccan style restaurant in the Old Medina (City) of Rabat. We were led to the restaurant by a guide, and it was a fabulous meal!

Adil at Dinarjat Restaurant
Adil pondering the "enriched salad" before him which consisted of some yummie eggplant, tomato and other veggie dishes. The "enriched" part was the brains and liver before him. Delicieux!

Karla & Karen
Karla & Karen - our only team photo to date. I had to travel all the way to Morocco (on my dime) to have a team meeting with her - this recession is tough! Enjoyed every minute of it!

The Mosque in Casablanca
This Mosque was built between 1986 - 1993 (or thereabouts), and it's ginormous! Hard to really capture the size with a camera, but here's a few attempts. Here's a link to the wikipedia def that provides more info. http://www.sacred-destinations.com/morocco/casablanca-hassan-ii-mosque.htm
