Morocco 2023-2024 Day 7 (12/25/2023) Down the Coast to Tagahzout


Christmas morning and we walk through te lobby of the hotel to the sound of Christmas Carols sung in Arabic and French


One of the staff that stopped to talk with us


As we were driving down the coast we came across trees filled with goats.  They are eating the Argan nuts that grow on the trees



Sarah pointing out some of the goats to Cecile


The goat herder handed Sarah a baby Goat



Cute little guy wanted to go with Sarah


These trees have sharp spines (Thorns) in the branches, but it does not seem to bother the goats




Stop for a drink and to overlook the ocean


Cecile was trying to take a picture of me, but she said I was a smart ass


We passed through at village that is known for its Organic Bananas.  Much smaller then the ones we get in the States, but much sweeter and better tasting


We stopped at the side of the road where some Nomads were grazing their herd of Camels



All sizes and colors


They often look like they are smiling



They told us to go ahead and pet them, they are very gentle




Using a bush for a pillow


Our hotel was over the top, the Pacalbatros in Tagahzout


As soon as you check in they present you with a fruit juice cocktail to refresh you from your journey


Gorgeous Resort


Nine Pools



All inclusive including food and drinks


Cheers


Beautiful Sunset

2023 Hawaii Trip

Image
  17 Sept 2023 headed for Hawaii to visit our Grandson Joseph, who just reenlisted in the Navy. He has been there three years and has seen very little of the island.  At the airport at 5;00 am , flew from Knoxville to Atlanta for a nine hour non-stop flight from Atlanta to Honolulu.  Fortunately we got First Class tickets so flying in comfort. As soon as we were on board they delivered Mimosas   Real Food in First Class When we arrived at the rental car agency, they told us that the Toyota Rav 4 we reserved was not available so they gave us a free upgrade a BMW X3, not bad for an upgrade. Finally got to Joseph at his apartment.  Tomorrow will start the adventures. Hawaii Trip Day 1

Morocco 2023-2024 Day 1 (12/19/23) Casablanca

Image
We arrived in Casablanca, after heading through customs etc. Zak was there to meet us along with his mother (a nice surprise).  Sami and his Grandmother headed back to Essaouira where she lives and the four of us (Zak, Sarah, Cecile and I) headed off to start exploring Casablanca. First Stop was to Check in at the Hyatt Regancy.   Cecile and Sarah thought we should take this car, a Maybach, but I think it would be alittle out of our price range. Shops along the Main thoroughfare below our room. Looking out over the city from our hotel room The Harbor The Hassan II Mosque from our Hotel Room. The Largest Mosque in Africa with a Minorette standing 210 Meters (682.5 Feet) tall. The Bears were happy to take a break from travelling. We had a late lunch Early Dinner at the Dar El Kaiu Restaurant. tucked away in the shopping medina, but like you were stepping into another world.  The architecture was incredible.  This was a Jewish Synagogue in the 1800's, what an incredible building.

Autumn Colors in the Smokies

Image
 Time for the color change in the Smokies, we took a morning drive through the Cade's Cove Scenic Loop in the Smoky Mountains National Park only about an hour and a half from the house. Saw four bears but with all the people trying to take pictures, we passed without getting any pictures.  We were however able to capture some of the beautiful colors.
