Since my stay in Morocco is coming to an end I am taking advantage of each weekend to travel and see as many places as I can. This often means I sacrifice sleep (remember, in Morocco time is cyclical and I'll just make it up later) but I experience a ton during a short few days.
Two weekends ago I went with Molly and my friend Sophia to a beautiful town situated at the end of what is called Paradise Vallee, a lush valley between high mountains that is replete with water holes for swimming. That was Saturday, and Sunday we went to Agadir with members of the association here. Voici les photos en bas:
This past weekend Abdessamad came again to visit me and we went to a few places southeast of Taroudant, including the coastal cities of Sidi Ifni and Mirleft, Guelmim where we went to an early morning camel market, and Tafraoute, one of the most beautiful and scenic towns in Morocco. Here are some photos!

Not bad graffiti. Vallee du Paradise = ) |
These rocks looked like they had melted from the top and dripped down over their edges before hardening. The magic of water mixed with gravity and lots and lots of time. |
A typical seafood dish found in many coastal cities and towns in Morocco. |
Of view of the new city from the hilltop amidst the ruins of the old city. |
I found my camel counterpart. I wonder if he also finds it hard to be in the Moroccan sun all day. |
A typical early morning scene at markets around Morocco. People bring their livestock to sell and trade. |
The traditional Moroccan Wal-Mart and my workmate Molly. |
The blue and white city of Sidi Ifni |
Abdessamad the magician. |
I fasted all day and was so hungry I was looking for anything to eat! |
The gorgeous town of Tafraoute surrounded with boulders in the strangest places. It looks as if the Gods forgot to put up their toys after they were done playing. |
The famous painted rocks near Tafraoute. A Belgian artist did these. |
