Nov 19 - Rabat


The weather is much better today; however, we spent most of the early part of the day at the Riad.  After breakfast we met with Tara for almost two hours going over upcoming travel planning that will take us into 2020. 

We then sat and visited with Helen, one of the other ladies on our Tara Morocco tour.  Then the four of us headed out for lunch about 1:00.  We decided to go back into town...

and then down to the riverfront and try one of the restaurants there.

While watching the boats on the river we finally figured out that there were small boats operating as ferries between the two sides of the river. 

While walking the waterfront we came across an enterprising fellow selling potato chips.  Not the pre-bagged ones.  He had a huge pile of loose chips and would give you the size bag you want.

We walked by the Kasbah de Oudayas again on our way back to the Riad.

When we got back it was still sunny so we went up to the top of the Riad to see what it had to offer.  We were told it was very pretty and had a nice pool.  We weren't disappointed.

Most of the rest of the group were in by 7:30 so most of us took the tour bus across town to a local Moroccan restaurant.  The food was very good and very much cheaper than the meal at the Riad. 

We were back at the hotel by about 9:30, just in time to pack as we leave tomorrow morning for our tour.
