Welcome to Casablanca

     Our last Moroccan city to visit and the last stop on our north African trip was Casablanca. It’s the largest city in Morocco and the country’s business and economic center. It’s on the Atlantic coast and is Morocco’s chief port. The city has around four million people and also hosts the primary naval base for the Royal Moroccan Navy.    

     I was a bit disappointed to learn that there never was a “Café American”, as run by Humphrey Bogart playing Rick Blain in the movie “Casablanca.” But that wasn’t my only disappointment. I thought that Casablanca was my least favorite stop on our whole north African vacation. Oh well. It’s a really big city without a lot for tourists to enjoy.

      The first photo was just a street scene. Lots of white buildings and palm trees in Casablanca.

     This building in the Harbor area was quite historic but I can’t remember the details about it. 

     The next photo I took from the balcony of our hotel room. I think we had one of the best views in Casablanca.

     We ate lunch at a restaurant right on the coast. I just thought Casablanca needed an ocean photo.  

     I’m pouring my own tea at the Café Imperial in the Harbor area, trying my hand at pouring like the locals. It was actually very easy.
