Assilah is known for being an artistic hub in Morocco. The medina is filled with murals, as pictured below.
We then went on to Tangier where we visited the American Legation Museum, the only US National Historic Landmark on foreign soil.
The American Flag in the form of a Berber Rug.
Also there is a letter in which a senator is refusing a lion which the Moroccan Sultan gave to him, despite his attempts to explain he was unable to bring any livestock back into America. At the time of writing the letter he had the lion locked in a room in his suite there in Tangier. Pretty hilarious!
From Tangier we took the ferry over to Algiceras, Spain
ByeBye Africa!
And we knew we were no longer in a Muslim country (Museo del Jamon=Museum of Ham)
In the Madrid version of Central Park
Yesterday morning there was this amazing and huge demonstration going on in front of down hall. From what we could understand it had to do with agriculture and unions. What was wonderful was how happy everyone looked. Though they were protesting, they were joyous, and plenty of people were just hanging out on the sidewalk drinking cervezas...it was noon.
I love the cow float in front of city hall. She was proceeded by a bunch of drummers.
