<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chefchaouen, situé au Nord du Maroc dans les montagnes.</p>
<p>Une des plus belles villes du Maroc qui a encore la chance de disposer d'une Medina (ancienne ville ) encore vivante , c'est à dire ou vive encore les habitants d'orgine dans les maisons.</p>
<p>Cette ville nichée dans les montagnes a une richesse , la nature qui l'entoure.</p>
<p>Le tourisme s'y est developpé, de plus en plus de maisons d'hôtes ouvrent à l'initiative de particuliers soit en restaurant la maison familiale ( ex: <a title="Casa Hassa" href="http://www.casahassan.com" target="_blank">casa Hassan </a>dans la Medina) , ou construisant un riad de zéro en lui donnant un cachet ancien (ex riad <a title="darechchaouen" href="http://www.darechchaouen.ma" target="_blank">darechchaouen</a>).</p>
<p>D'autres misent principalement sur la région et l'écologie afin de promouvoir et développer cette région de Chaouen (ex:  <a title="Auberge Dardara" href="http://dardara.olympe-network.com" target="_blank">Auberge Dardara </a>) en s'associant avec habitants de la région pour mettre en place des gîtes ruraux.</p>
<p>Tous ces exemples ont un point commun , ils se sont lancés dans le tourisme et la promotion de cette région avec leurs seules moyens sans aucune aide des autorités locales.</p>
<p>Ces autorités qui n'avaient pas vu le potentiel touristique de cette région  connue jusqu'alors uniquement pour le cannabis et le passage obligé pour ketama.</p>
<p>Actuellement , on observe un engouement pour la région .</p>
<p>Pas un seul jour sans voir des touristes français , espagnols, anglais dans les rues de Chefchaouen ou en randonnées dans la région.</p>
<p>Mes les marocains (majoritairement de Casablanca ou Rabat ) cède à cette mode de visiter cette ville , alors que jusqu'à maintenant ils préféraient aller à Marrakech ou Essaouira.</p>
<p>Les autorités locales agissent comme s'ils avaient jouer un rôle dans cette promotion , en faisant régulièrement des visites dans les nouveaux établissement, venir se photographier lorsque des journalistes se pointent à Chefchaouen.</p>
<p>La seule contribution que l'on peut leur concéder c'est que maintenant ils peuvent inviter les personnalités en visite à Chefchaouen à déjeuner ou diner dans des endroits magnifiques.</p>
<p>Au mois de Juillet a lieu un des festival majeur de Chefchaouen (initié par l'agence de developpement de la région du Nord et non par la ville elle-même), la commune n'a pas trouvé mieux que de lancer de travaux de rénovations des voiries qu'à ce moment.</p>
<p>Les visiteurs de Chefchaouen , se sont crus en Irak et non pas dans cette ville touristique dont tout le monde parle.</p>
<p>Je me suis rendu pendant le Ramadan à Chaouen,  3 mois après donc le début des travaux, la ville est encore en Chantier.</p>
<p>Ce chantier fait perder de l'argent à tous ces promoteurs qui ont fait le choix de dépenser leurx capital pour développer leur région d'origine qu'ils aiment , et qu'ils auraient pu quitter pour se lancer dans des investissemnt plus rentables tout en laissant les trafiquants de cannabis faire main basse sur la région.</p>
<p>Les autorités devraient être main dans la main avec ces promoteurs pour développer cette région plomber par le cannabis et l'exode rural.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Nu mens der er silly season i Premier League, og EM ikke er begyndt endnu er der tid til lidt Marokk]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nu mens der er silly season i Premier League, og EM ikke er begyndt endnu er der tid til lidt Marokko. Jeg kan dog allerede nu afsløre at Holland, Spanien og Rusland vil være i fokus på den gode måde (Guus overrasker!). Jævnlige læsere af denne blog vil heller ikke blive overrasket over at en spand skidt jævnligt vil blive hældt ud over Portugal som turneringen skrider frem. Måske også Grækenland, vi får se. Mabuggunnop er jo ellers ganske upartiske og vil levere skarpe og utendentiøse analyser af alle kampe. Den tid den glæde - imens kan fodboldnarkomaner glæde sig over fallerede danske fodboldspilleres <a href="http://politiken.dk/fodbold/em2008/article508840.ece" target="_blank">gennemført fantasiløse bud</a> på en EM-finale. Italien-Tyskland. Helt seriøst - fodbold er altså blevet sjovere og mere varieret siden dengang I spillede, Schjønberg og Strudal. Desuden er Italien ikke sultne nok. Nå .. nu til Marokko.</p>
<p>Vinden blæste flere sekundkilometer men solen blæste endnu mere da vi stod op om morgenen på Villa Nora på Marokkos atlanterhavskyst. Stedet hedder Moulay Bousselham og ligger med ryggen mod havet og nakken mod en kæmpestor lagune med flamingoer i. En eller anden havde fortalt os at alle arabiske byer som ligger ved havet altid vender ryggen til vandet - hvad det så end skal betyde. Hvis de også vender ryggen til når de fisker, er det imponerende hvor meget de får hevet i land. Villaen er ligesom dit sommerhus på odden eller i Gilleleje: Fyldt af nips, gamle kortspil og kriminalromaner. Der lugter af hav og salt i alle villaens mange forskellige rum, og der ligger en evig bunke sand i brusekabinen. Forskellen fra dit sommerhus er at maden bliver lavet for dig, ilden i pejsen bliver tændt for dig, og at det er varmere i vejret. Ta den.</p>
<p>Der blev også tid til at smutte forbi det lille lyseblå hybel, Chefchaouen, oppe i Rif-bjergene tæt på Tanger. Her er en af de største hash-produktioner i verden, men vi havde desværre ikke tid til at kigge nærmere på den. Meget anbefalelsesværdigt sted. Afslappet, rent og alligevel meget levende. Grønne bjerge og grå himmel. Hvide og lyseblå vægge og trapper, som af og til mindede om vandrutchebanen i Sommerland Sjælland. På den gode måde.</p>
<p>Hjemme i Rabat er der <a href="http://www.festivalmawazine.ma" target="_blank">mawazine-festival</a>. 100 gratiskoncerter med verdensmusik. Ja, fra hele verden. Kan vi ikke få sådan én i København, tak. Fredag var vi til ets spansk stomp/pyroman-orkesters optræden på byens hovedfærdselsåre. Vi var sammen med Achraf, som aldrig havde set fyrværkeri før. Han forklarede at fyrværkeri ikke var særlig almindeligt i Marokko, og at mange af de andre flere tusind fremmødte sikkert heller ikke vidste hvad det gik ud på.  Det sås. Da de spanske galninge begyndte at smide omkring sig med sole og romerlys og stjernekastere i bundgarnspælsstørrelse veg marokkanerne kun nødigt tilbage, og kom så helt tæt på igen! Der blev sunget om at Gud og den lokale fodboldklub var store - det var vist de eneste associationer som fyrværkeriet gav. Fedt! En af de oplevelser som gav en appetit på mindre pyller i Danmark.</p>
<p>Lørdag aften var der så Goran Bregovic på den store open air scene nede ved floden. Der følger en video-reportage senere på ugen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>16日目シャウエン～青い町並み～</p>
<p>3月16日 Chefchaouen</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342822723/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2223/2342822723_c5dc06b588.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
朝６時出発の電車に乗るのに、空港で目覚めたのは5:50。<br />
ちょっと慌てながら、なにもスラれてないか確認。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343648388/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3132/2343648388_babda0dd6e.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
35Dhでムハンマド5世空港からカサブランカまでのチケットを購入。<br />
<a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343650878/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2161/2343650878_1a15373c09.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
ちゃんと駅員さんが確認しにやってきます。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343650760/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3152/2343650760_21bdbd0c43.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
薄汚れた窓の向こうには、とても綺麗な朝焼け。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343650554/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/2343650554_1b3491f10a.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
カサ・ヴォワジャー駅に到着。<br />
本当はカサ・ポール駅の方が目的地まで近かったのですが、人が沢山降りる当駅で下車してしまいました。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343650056/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2119/2343650056_fe527f07f1.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
街はガラーーーーーーンとしております。</p>
<div><span style="color:#808080;"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343650148/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3086/2343650148_979921345a.jpg" alt="" width="350" /></a></span></div>
<p>日もまだ昇ったばかりですから、当たり前ですね。<br />
でも人気のない街は危ないです。<br />
こちらでもモロッコの方からの突き刺さるような視線に命を奪われそうであります。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343649954/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/2343649954_2d026d1279.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
シャウエンという街へ向かうためのCTMバスターミナルを探します。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342821475/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3090/2342821475_5eb7195c5e.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
これがなかなか見つからない。<br />
ガイドブックの地図を見てもなかなか見つけられず、数十分間同じ場所をぐるぐる回ってしまいました。</p>
<p>カフェのおじさんに質問してもうまく伝わらず、大通りに走っている市内バスを指差して「あの通りまで行けばバス停があるよ」と言ってスタスタ店の奥へ。<br />
そのバスじゃなくて、長距離バスを探してるのに…。<br />
思いは伝わらず。<br />
他の現地の方々にもなかなか声をかけづらく、地図と格闘したあげく自力でようやく到着。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343649350/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2260/2343649350_ffde5266f7.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
カサ・ポール駅から線路沿いに東へ歩くと右手側にゴールデンチューリップファラーというホテルが見えてきます。<br />
そのホテルの裏側の小さな道の右手側にこのCTMバスターミナルがあります。</p>
<p>バスターミナルというのでバスが沢山止まっている大きな広場を想像していましたが、細い道にポンとあるだけ。</p>
<p>入って時刻表を見ても、Chefchaouenの文字はなし。<br />
はて、シャウエンに行けるのか!?と一瞬不安になりましたが、チケット売り場にて告げるとあっさりチケット発行。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342820333/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2294/2342820333_158b7dca84.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
上のチケットはシャウエンまでのバスのチケット120Dh。<br />
下のチケットはバッグを預ける際に発行されたチケット、手数料5Dh。<br />
この旅で初めてバッグを人に預けたので、とても不安でした。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342821263/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3089/2342821263_94c90efe00.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
シャウエン行きが一日に何台出発しているのか分からなかったのですが、<br />
渡されたチケットには8:30出発と明記。<br />
実にあと45分程。ギリギリ。<br />
もしシャウエン行きが一日一台で、バスターミナルへの到着にもっとてこずっていたら、この日はシャウエンへ行けなかったかもしれないと思うと冷や汗タラリ。<br />
（シャウエンまでの道のりは半日かかるので、本当に一日一台かもしれない。）</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343648792/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2343648792_f0510de5e3.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
バスに乗り込み出発。<br />
素敵な風景が続きます。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342820505/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3286/2342820505_121e4a4485.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a></p>
<div><span style="color:#808080;"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342820439/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2231/2342820439_81ed01f299.jpg" alt="" width="350" /></a></span></div>
<p>バスは計４回休憩（昼食30分含む）込みで７時間弱。</p>
<p>幾つかの街に立ち寄るのですが、バスに乗っている東洋人の僕の顔を、皆がジロッと見つめてきます。<br />
こちらからニコっとしてみると微笑み返してくれる人もいます。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343648194/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2319/2343648194_ab62a6d288.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
絵に描いたような山や野原の風景を見ること７時間、シャウエンに到着。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342871469/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2342871469_0b90813494.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
この街は幾分観光客が多い様子。<br />
でも東洋人は極めて少ないです。</p>
<p>太陽が昇ると気温も急上昇。<br />
数日前はマイナスの世界にいたのに、今日は25度を超えています。<br />
あつい。</p>
<p>帰りのバスのチケットを予め購入しておこうと受付へ。<br />
二つのバス会社の事務所が並んでいました。<br />
CTMと比べるとバスの本数が一日一台＜一日三台で多く、値段も若干安いというバス会社があったのですが、行きに乗ってきたCTMのほうが信頼できそうだったので帰りのチケットもCTMで購入。</p>
<p>事務所の前でウロウロしていると、色んな人が話しかけてきます。<br />
なにやら変に親切で親しげにバスのことや宿のことを教えてくれます。<br />
やだなぁと距離を置きながら話していると、急に声を低くして「これ吸うか？ホテルまでも安全に持っていけるぜ」と茶色い粘土みたいなものを手の上に転がして見せてきます。<br />
なるほどそういうことね、と「ノーノー」と振り切りバスターミナルを出発。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342871205/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2235/2342871205_4e55435921.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
バス停を出て、左手にある急な坂道を上っていくと、ムハンマド５世広場。<br />
そしてさらに奥へ進むとメディナの入り口アイン門に辿り着きます。<br />
ここに行くまでの間も何回もブツを勧められました。<br />
（物体が不明なため「ブツ」で誤摩化しました。）</p>
<div><span style="color:#808080;"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342871119/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2174/2342871119_e9b9fba7fc.jpg" alt="" width="350" /></a></span></div>
<p>さて、ここをくぐると栄えた市場が迎えます。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342871025/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2140/2342871025_b0f99e743c.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
なぜ、この街へ来たか。</p>
<p>これです。</p>
<div><span style="color:#808080;"><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342869889/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3220/2342869889_9d9b0f9db3.jpg" alt="" width="350" /></a></span></div>
<p>シャウエンで迎えるのは鮮やかなブルーに染まった家々。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343699904/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3194/2343699904_5d1e1c3b0a.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a></p>

<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2343697048/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2170/2343697048_eb3ba81135.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
このブルーの町並みを見てみたかったわけです。</p>
<p>ホテルでチェックインを済ませ、街へ散策。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342870451/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/2342870451_ba1f0aab2c.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
お土産屋さんが「コンニチワー」「サヨナラー」とあちこちから声をかけてきます。</p>
<p>◆面白かった日本語ベスト３◆</p>
<p>３位　「コンニチワ　サガワケン！」<br />
そんな県ありません。惜しい。</p>
<p>２位　「サヨナラー　オナカガスイタ。」<br />
かわいそう。</p>
<p>１位　「オーサカ？ニーガタ？ミタカ？　…マリファナ。」<br />
三つ目に三鷹を持ってくるマニアックさと、最後のオチが完璧。</p>
<p>日本にブラザーがいると言って呼び止められ、店内へ連れて行かれます。<br />
奥から写真を沢山取り出して、見せてくれます。<br />
そして一通りその話が終わると営業トーク開始。<br />
以前その店で買っていった人達の感想ノートのようなものを見せて、日本人のページを見せてくる。<br />
「とくに押し売りするわけでもなく、安くて素敵な絨毯を売って頂きました」とか書いてある。<br />
あちゃぁまいったなと思って、「荷物が小さいから」とか「写真撮りにいきたいからすぐに行かなきゃ」といって店をあとに。<br />
店を出る時はすんなり帰してくれました。なるほどノートの通り「押し売りするわけ」ではないんですね。<br />
感じの良い方だったのですが、絨毯への関心が皆無であったためスタスタと店を出てすみませんでした。</p>

シャウエンには元気な子どもたちもたくさんいます。<br />
歩いていると、東洋人の僕の顔を子供達は黙ってマジマジと見つめてきます。<br />
おなじく「コンニチワー」「サヨナラー」と言ってくる子もいます。</p>
<p>ニコっとしてみると嬉しそうに微笑み返してくれる子もいれば、黙ったまま見つめ続ける子も。<br />
途中でデジカメに興味を示した子が「撮らせて撮らせて！」<br />
自分の首にかけたままデジカメを貸したのですが、あちらこちらへグイグイと引っ張る。<br />
まるで首輪を繋がれた猿になった気分。</p>
<p>撮った写真がすぐに画面で表示できるのが面白いらしくバシャバシャ撮っていました。</p>

<p>メディナの中央に位置するグラン・モスク。<br />
ドバイで大音量で流れていたコーランも、ここではちょっと音量は抑え気味。<br />
久々にコーランを聞けて、癒されました。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342867005/"><img class="flickr-photo" style="border:1px solid #000000;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3090/2342867005_d3df3b9fb2.jpg" alt="" width="450" /></a><br />
そしてかなり久々に「肉らしい」肉にありつきました。<br />
やっぱり肉は素晴らしい。<br />
物凄い勢いで頬張りました。<br />
奥にある飲み物はホフィ(Khokhi)。<br />
中国の緑茶にミントの葉と砂糖の塊を入れたもの。<br />
甘くて美味しいんです。</p>
<p>食べて一息ついているともう暗くなってきます。</p>

お歳を召した方々は移動がとても大変そう。<br />
この後ろ姿が物語っているでしょう。<br />
階段の途中で一息ついているオバサマをあちこちで発見しました。</p>
<p><a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yuichirofuji/2342865997/"><img alt="" /></a><br />

ちょっと短すぎる散策でしたが、この目でこの可愛い町並みを見ることができて満足。<br />
夜のモスクを見ながらホテルへ戻ります。</p>

こんな壁掛けも買っちゃいました。<br />
部屋に飾るのが楽しみです。</p>
<p>でもビニール袋にポイッと入れられただけ。<br />
この小さなナップザックの中で、果たして無事に持って帰ることができるのか！？</p>
<p>明日の朝７時のバスに寝坊しないよう、<br />
早めに寝ましょう。シャウエンでした。</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thesamuelfactor/2150837554/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2363/2150837554_f977ef9399.jpg?v=1199067875" border="0" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">Ésta es mi foto favorita de las que tomé en Marruecos en verano de 2006. La hice el 15 de julio en Chefchaouen, ciudad del norte de Marruecos cercana a Tánger, donde vivía aquel mes. Al estar hecha con una cámara compacta que ya tiene sus años, la calidad del archivo en sí no es muy buena ni el original es lo suficientemente grande para imprimirlo a un buen tamaño, pero qué se le va a hacer...</p>
<p align="justify">Pedimos permiso al padre del niño antes de sacarle fotos. A mucha gente en Marruecos no le gustaba ser fotografiada por turistas, pero a este hombre no pareció importarle.</p>
<p align="justify">Me gustan mucho los colores de esta foto: hay mucha variedad y además no se repiten de manera notable. Chefchaouen me pareció una ciudad preciosa; la mayor parte de ella combina el blanco y el azul. También me gusta, por supuesto, la pose del niño.</p>
<p align="justify">En su momento no tuve mucho tiempo de pensar antes de disparar porque el niño no iba a estarse así todo el día y no podía hacer esperar al grupo, así que para el poco tiempo que tuve estoy bastante satisfecho con el resultado. Aun así, su tuviera la oportunidad de repetir esta foto, creo que sacaría al niño algo más grande. Me gusta que se vea la puerta y la pared, pero tal vez  el niño sale demasiado pequeño. Ésta es la única foto que tomé de él y no sé cómo hubiese quedado de otra manera; no quise abusar del permiso del padre.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our 2nd day in Chaouen we didn’t wake up as early as planned. We finally crept up to the roof terrace for breakfast around noon.   Suzanne and Danielle made cheese omelets and Scottish porridge. We dipped bread in strawberry jam, ate fresh olives and drank OJ until we could explode.</p>
<p><a href="void(0)" id="file-link-37" title="roof terrace" class="file-link image"><img src="http://fozz.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/sl370365.jpg" alt="roof terrace" height="174" width="323" /></a></p>
<p>It was sports day for the kids in town and a few of us walked down to the race track to watch some of the local student run and cheer for their classmates. The view is mesmerizing from every angle of the mountain and we spent a lot of time just staring down at the village and up at the clouds.</p>
<p><img src="///Users/sydneywoodford/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/2007/11/28/SL370391.JPG" /><a href="http://fozz.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/sl370391.jpg" title="sl370391.jpg"><img src="http://fozz.wordpress.com/files/2007/12/sl370391.jpg" alt="sl370391.jpg" height="335" width="591" /></a></p>
<p>Liam, the younger son, made it his responsibility to show Mikey and I around the town and took us for a walk to the Medina. We stopped to look into a rug shop without realizing that we would have to spend an hour listening to the shop owner explain to us how strong and well crafted his rugs are. He poured the 3 of us mint tea and mainly spoke to Mikey about all the people from around the world who buy his rugs and give them as gifts or later sell them for more money. Mikey really didn’t want to barter with him and by the end of it was pretty annoyed. He refused to pay for or buy anything and the shop owner, Abdul (who the Scots call Mel Gibson), seemed insulted, but we couldn’t afford anything he had to sell. We finally got out of there and Liam apologized to us for not warning us of Mel Gibson’s intent sooner and explained that he brings a lot of guests to that shop to buy things so he though Mel might have been mistaken.</p>
<p><a href="void(0)" id="file-link-37" title="roof terrace" class="file-link image"> 			 </a></p>
<p>We needed a beer after that experience and we stopped in a small pub for a drink. We roamed the town for a few more hours, bought some vegetables and gifts for family and friends at one of Liam’s friend’s shops. Mohamad, the shop owner, gave us a few free souvenirs too. We paid 15dh for a cab back to the house (less than 1 pound) and made our way back onto the roof terrace.</p>
<p>Mikey found the music room and was happy to mess around with the acoustic for a while and Liam joined him and played drums. We made our own dinner and the Czech guys finally woke up (its about 9pm at this point) and we all hung out in the living room again. Eventually everyone was too high move so we had to call it an early night and now its 2pm on day three and we haven’t left the roof terrace yet! We are going on a hike up the mountains now, should be interesting considering its not quite my thing, hikes. My dad would be very proud.</p>
<p>(check out my photos from the hike on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodfosy/" title="photo page">flicker</a> link)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After almost 24 hours of traveling, we are finally in <a href="http://lexicorient.com/morocco/chefchaouen.htm" title="stoned and smiling" target="_blank">Chefchaouen</a>, a small mountainous village in northern morocco. Our flight left from London at 7:30 on the morning of the 27th and flew to Frankfurt, Germany. After a 6-hour layover we got back on the plane and flew in to morocco, a city called Fes Sais. Once we landed, our taxi driver, Rachid met Mikey and I outside of customs. He didn’t speak any English, so he silently led us to his 1970s Mercedes Benz where we began our unexpectedly long and slightly hellish 4 hour drive here. Rachid also gave our travel pal, Joshua (a guy from texas who’s working in the peace corps just outside Fes) a free ride to a town a few miles out of the way of our hotel. It was really nice of him and nice for us since Joshua spoke Arabic and could explain to us everything we were driving by; the medinas, the new developments, and who the guy was on all the bill boards (the king, Mohamad VI). Joshua told us that his job is to come up with new designs for the guys who carve wood in the small village, but many of them don’t want to learn new ideas since they’ve been making the same crafts for so many years. He was full of helpful information and taught us to say please and thank you in Arabic.</p>
<p>Once we dropped Joshua off, Rachid drove about 100 mph the entire way to our B&#38;B, <a href="http://www.rif-for-anyone.co.nr/" title="reefer anyone">Rif-For-Anyone</a>. He would pass anyone driving under 70 and since we are staying at the top of the <a href="http://www.bluegecko.org/lizard/lizard01.htm" title="rif mts prose">Rif</a> mountains it was the windiest and rockiest drive making it hard to see if a car or 18 wheeler was coming straight for us. I wasn’t to worried since he does all of the driving for our hotel owners and I trusted that he knew what he was doing, but Mikey was squeezing my hand so hard the entire time it’s a miracle its still attached to my wrist. He kept muttering “holy shit” under his breath and “syd I don’t want to die in some crazy taxi in morocco! This is insane, were going to die!” His panic didn’t stop until we arrived, and he started freaking out even more when we hit a wild dog about 30 min away from Rif. A pack of 4 started crossing the narrow road right in front of us going about 80 around a hair-pin-turn (the only kind of turn on the trail). Two dogs ran across and 2 stopped when they saw our car, but we couldn’t slow down, it was too sudden, and one dog thought he could reach his other 2 friends before we got to him, but he tested fate and fate slaughtered him. I screamed and began crying instantly. My brain thought every guilty thought and I was so upset wishing that animals didn’t have to die at a humans expense, just so I could go on holiday. Rachid got out to check the car and have a smoke while mikey pissed himself with fear and I continued crying for the dog. A few minutes later we were back on the road, all of us in a more somber mood, all for different reasons because of the same incident.</p>
<p>The “Welcome to Chefchouen” sign wisped by us and we perked up in our seatbelt-less back seats to check out the scenery. I forgot to mention that there aren’t any seatbelts in the back seats of cars and no one uses the ones in the front anyways. Joshua told us that the driver is offended if you wear one. Our driver laughed when he said this, I think because he noticed that mikey and I both reached for ours and than looked a bit frightened/surprised after being told about their absence, he understood. So we hopped out of the car and Rachid lead the way up the muddy path into the Rif. As we entered the living room we were welcome with handshakes, hugs and European kisses from the Scottish family who live in the rif, and two of their Czech visitors. Susanne, the lady of the house showed us to our room and said she’d make us some soup while we got comfortable. We dumped our things on the sandy tiles, mikey crawled under the warm sheets and I jumped into a hot shower. There isn’t any heat and the whole house is made of cement, bricks and stone, so its pretty icy cold this time of year once the sun sets. After a while we went back upstairs and dipped round bread into a delicious vegetable soup. We aloud the music to do most of the talking while everyone smoked their own joint. Mikey and I listened to Terry tell us all about how him and Suzanne fell in love with Chefchoen, but when they decided to move here they never intended on opening a Bed &#38; breakfast. It wasn’t until they found this house that they realized it would be the perfect place to accommodate guests and with the help of his two sons, wife and daughter in law, Terry taught himself to do all the needed construction. They have been here a little over a year and I am so incredibly inspired by their freedom and relaxed lifestyle. A little while later we decided to get some rest so we could get the most of our 1st full day. I fell asleep in our big warm bed with colorful dreams of a perfect world. It’s liberating to see people who live incredible lives with no need for the office 9-5 world. I’m always in such a rush to find my outlet, but learning from people like this family helps me find the patience I need to keep traveling until I find my purpose.</p>
