A look at Casablanca and Fes

Here's a visual representation of trips I took with friends to Casablanca (business Capital and largest city of Morocco) and Fes (first city and cultural Capital of Morocco.)

Mosque Hassan II, the biggest Mosque in Africa. It is in Casablanca and rests right on the ocean.

This is a Catholic Cathedral in Casablanca. It's probably not the biggest Cathedral in Africa, but it's impressive nonetheless.

These kids snuck past the security railing and were jumping off this wall into the ocean below. A security guard came over and tried to get them to come down and return the the pedestrian area, but they mocked him and jumped off all the same.

If you look hard you can see all the local boys speckled throughout the giant rocks. What a fun swimming hole to hop in for the local boys (and probably year-round.)

My roommate Jull Iann and I eating snails. So hot but so delicious.

This is where the boys landed when they jumped off the Mosque 'patio.'

A view of Bab Bou Jloud, the main entrance to the Medina (old city) in Fes. This Medina is an awesome labyrinth of twisting, windy roads that pass by all kinds of shops.

A cemetery right outside the Medina in Fes. Not too different from cemeteries in the Unites States, huh?

An open area in the Medina where people come to people watch, relax, or play soccer, like these kids in the picture. One female member of our group decided to go play with the kids after a few minutes of watching them. She plays soccer in College in the states,  so she was quite talented and showed those kids a thing or two about the game. She drew some attention (whether it was because she was a foreign girl out-playing local kids or because she was a woman playing soccer in Morocco), but people enjoyed the event and cheered when she returned to our group.
