The people.
Are Moroccans the friendliest and most welcoming people? It could be. Hassan and Abdul are first class humans, and so was everyone else we met.

Exploring the souks.
The vibrancy, energy, chaos, and noise. The cats everywhere. Exploring on our own in Tangiers petit socco was best, the smell of Fez Medina was worst. Marrakesh was fantastic too.

The rug salesman in Fez.
What a character he was, like a dog with a bone he kept pushing for the sale, passing the calculator backwards and forwards.

Merge like velcro.
