The vastly different world of Morocco

MOROCCO | Monday, 7 November 2011 | Views [205]

In a sleepy town on the coast of Morocco lies a picturesque beach filled with relaxed locals and tourists alike. Everyone moves slowly, not because they must but because they can. They stop to talk, to invite you over or pour you some tea.

Many are hard at work at the port and if a boat needs to be pulled in? Why of course, just jump right in. This young boy jumped into murky, fishy water without hesitation, to pull his boat to dock. Swimming around playfully, I wonder if it was not just an excuse to cool off?

Worlds away from the loud bustling Souks of the city, there is an orderly corner of vendors. Here a single shopper makes her way to a store where she will likely be offered some tea and a place to rest while she decides on what to buy. (I make this assumption because the lovely shop owner actually made me tea and gave me a tour of his rooftop while I spent a large part of my afternoon taking pictures and getting to know people).
