Those guys you are talking about are the ones that come across very friendly and follow you around and then get extremely aggressive wanting money, we have been warned about them, especially here in Tangier. We have been told that as soon as they start to follow you, you are to tell them NO and be very, very firm with them. Also saying "la shukraan" (No thank you), again firmly is suppose to work. Hopefully we won't come across any but we will be prepared for them. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-52213040694852808222017-04-09T16:32:39.551-04:002017-04-09T16:32:39.551-04:00No, we aren't tired of chicken yet, we like ch...No, we aren't tired of chicken yet, we like chicken. So far we haven't seen lamb/sheep on a menu, I am sure they have it but we haven't been to a restaurant yet where we have seen it. We have seen it at the butchers though! We have had beef though as well as a couple of vegetarian meals and I have made meals with both beef and chicken since we have been here. The only place that we saw some seafood was a the street food stall in the square.<br /><br />It isn't just Orthodox Muslims, it is all Muslims that don't eat pork. Haven't seen one single pig since we have been in the country, not even sure if you could buy it in the bigger grocery stores.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-24006703142876702312017-04-09T16:25:11.790-04:002017-04-09T16:25:11.790-04:00It really surprises us that more women don't f...It really surprises us that more women don't faint on a ride like that, being all bundled up like they are.

The guys come up very friendly and start speaking English and walking with you and telling you stuff. Nothing said about a guide. At the end he wanted 125Dhr!! And he pestered us until we paid him 100Dhr! And of course the guy in the parking lot want 50Dhr!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083914033771043852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8192511224713667062017-04-09T12:34:32.632-04:002017-04-09T12:34:32.632-04:00(The camel header picture that WAS there.)(The camel header picture that WAS there.)Elaine Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070038707624961451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-77294610089830318492017-04-09T05:11:28.148-04:002017-04-09T05:11:28.148-04:00You two must be tired of eating anything chicken-r...You two must be tired of eating anything chicken-related or with chicken in it; you seem to have had so much of it. I've read that Morocco cooks prepare great lamb and lamb stew and possibly you could find a fish dish. However, I understand that Orthodox Muslims do not eat pork because they consider them scavengers, so you probably won't find much of that.
