I am still in Morocco for another two days ! So I thought I take you on a little tour through a very beautiful and old residential quarter in Rabat the capital of Morocco.

It all looks so fresh and light

and after our walk a well earned break with the traditional mint tea !
I love that architecture of the building. And the color. It's awesome. But the best photo is the last one. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree with Thom whole-heartedly. Best photo is the last - tired but happy faces!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at European buildings like that I wonder how people lived in them hundreds of years ago.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Lovely pictures! You make me want to go right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that tour. You look great!
ReplyDeletewish I was there~ Looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blues and whites. Interesting series of photos too.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting! Couldn't you steal that garbage box and ship it to me? Mint tea--sounds good.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Enjoy the rest of your stay.
ReplyDeleteThat is QUITE a garbage container! I thought it was painted, but when I bigged it to get a closer look it is covered in FABRIC! I hope no garbage "juices" get spilled on it -- then it would really stink!
ReplyDeleteI love the crispness of the blue & white color everywhere! It really is beautiful.
Pierre has one brother and two sisters who were born in Rabbat.My mother and father inlaw lived there several years before going to Algery!!! Love the blue and white of the streets!!!

Ah... the happiness of sightseeing accomplished showing in your faces! I had no idea Rabat looked like that, it's lovely! Reminding me about Greece with it's blue and white, but yet different.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that Pierres parents has lived there.
