Welcome to the Land of a Thousand Hills! We hope you enjoy your visit!
Welcome to the Land of a Thousand Hills! We hope you enjoy your visit!
Last month, we were celebrating a French victory, one of many for the country, and from there we have arrived in a country that has never won before! Morocco finally gets to host its first FSC courtesy of this banger presented by CandyPerfumeBoy that dominated the competition:
Morocco's largest city might be the location for one of the world's greatest classic 1940s movies, but it is so much more than that. Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco and serves as its main port, treating a traffic of more than 21.3 million tons per year!. The weather in Casablanca is temperate throughout the year staying mostly in the 15-25C range (60s and 70s F), so you can bring your light clothing over from Cayenne as we are staying in the tropics. The city has a rich history and plenty of wonderful culture. Casablanca used to be known as Anfa until the fifteenth century when the country was taken over by Portugal. Initially, the Portuguese called it Casa Branca, and it was only changed into Casablanca, meaning white house by the Spanish. As for things to do here, the Hassan II Mosque is the only one that can be visited in Morocco, and it's hard not to notice. There's also the only museum in the Arabic world dedicated to Judaism - the Museum of Moroccan Judaism, even though the Jewish population has dwindled significantly here and there are only a couple thousand left. There's also a nice airy Marche Central, where you can walk about the market trying traditional Moroccan cuisine such as a stew called tajine. But as a movie buff, you know I'm going to check out the re-enacted Rick's Cafe for a drink tonight!
