Rabat, Morocco ~ 3. March 2009

Shopping, walking.....the life! Rabat is an interesting city. Here I am taking time out for TEA.
My friend, Duncan, agrees to smile for the camera! (Sale in background.) The Rabat trip was mainly to complete doctor visits, but we got a chance to look at a few things. I am super grateful that Duncan drove through the city and not me!

This is the Kasbah des Oudaias.





Kasbah in background...

Behind this gate is the remains of the ancient Roman city of Sala Colonia. It is enclosed by the walls of the necropolis of Chellah--built in the 13th c. Photos of the inside follow...

I am not positive, but I THINK that my Monica stood in this spot at one time.




I read that infertile women come here with peeled boiled eggs to give to the eels...

My first slug! At least the first slug I have seen in Morocco. My mind just wanders back to Portland, Oregon, Multnomah Falls and all of that.



It is difficult to imagine that you are in the city of Rabat, when you wander about these ruins!
