Summer Travels: Casablanca

Despite our guidebook's somewhat negative impression, one of our favorite cities in Morocco ended up being Casablanca.  We did find the city industrial and modern, without the same old world charm as Fez's medina; however, we were free to wander without constant pestering by salesmen, and therefore enjoyed the food, architecture, and people-watching more than anywhere else in Morocco up to this point.  Plus, the drive south leaving Casa (as the locals call it) to our next destination of Essaouira, was breathtaking, as you can see from the last handful of photos this week.  Enjoy!
