Algiers, Algeria

Hello from beautiful Algiers! I had trouble looking for things to do here, but I found something that I DEFINITELY want to do. I want to visit Notre Dome d'Afrique, or Basilica of Our Lady of Africa. It is an ancient and beautiful Roman-Catholic church, and was wonderful. It was a memorable visit.

Next, I went to see the War Monument. It is a monument dedicated the 130 years Algeria fought against France for freedom. I also visited the small museum near it, dedicated to the same thing. I learned tiny bits of information as I went along. When I left, I learned a valuable lesson about the streets of Algiers: Always take a taxi, and do it late or early, not in the noontime, or you will get caught up in traffic.
I decided that before bed, I would look up some facts about Algeria. Did you know that 90% of Algeria is the Sahara desert, and that Algiers is the main city? I also found out that 98% of Algeria's exports were oil and natural gas.

I better get to bed, I have a long trip to Casablanca, Morocco tomorrow. I don't want to miss out on one second of every trip I take, so I had better be well rested. It's getting kind of late anyway, and my bed looks inviting......ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..
