Hello from Morocco! The first thing I want to do is see the place with the tallest minaret in the world. I had read about it online and couldn't wait to see it. It is on top of the King Hassan 2 Mosque, a worshiping place built for the king. It can fit a whopping 25000 worshipers, minimum. It is the third largest Mosque in the world, and the only one that non-Muslims can enter and visit.
While I was in the area, I took a walk from the Mosque to The Corniche, a short walk to the west. The Corniche was once a wonderful hotel and resort place. Now, it houses many western food chains and worn down nightclubs, while the beautiful, tourist-packed hotels line the Boulevard de l'Ocean Atlantique.
Guess what I found out. Casablanca is the WORST place to shop in all of Morocco. I found that out the hard way, by trying to souvenir-shop at night before bed. It was terrible! There were barely any shops at all. I went online when I got back to my hotel, and discovered that Casablanca WAS INDEED rated worst place to shop. What a day. If there is one thing I hate, it's bad shopping.
Time to hit the sack. I am traveling to Madrid, Spain tomorrow, and I need to read up on my Spanish before bed. It's the hardest language for me to speak because I never learned it, unless you count Dora the Explorer when I was 3. Come on vaminos..... Oh forget it.
