I was up at 5 AM this morning, thinking it was 6 AM. On the first day of Ramadan they set the clocks back an hour. No one told my I Phone so I was at breakfast an hour early. A sweet waiter gave me a cup of coffee and I went out to the gardens with the peacocks and roosters. I now have my I Phone set for Iceland so I have the correct time.

The fresh squeezed orange juice from these trees is to die for!

After breakfast we drove to see the Royal Palace. The current king is Mohammed VI and is married to a “commoner.” Since his reign began in 1999 the country has become more inclusive of the people and has given women more rights when it comes to divorce and inheritance. Here is a picture of the Royal Palace but the King doesn’t live there. Apparently he lives on a ranch.

We continued on to the old city and a fortress built in the 12th century.

We ended the morning at a restaurant on the water. Beautiful views and food.

My travel companions – Peggy, Wendy an Diane.

I saw this car, a Lamborghini, and sent a picture home to Braydon. Yes, I can send it home and he doesn’t care if it is pink.

Tomorrow we are off to Fes where we will be stopping at a Roman city dating back to AD 270. This is also a UNESCO Heritage Site and is called Volubilis.
