WOW CHAOUEN

So we end up rolling to Chefchaouen two weeks ago, OOOOOOOWWWWEEEEEE!!! That city is blue. Well I guess it makes sense, since it is called the blue city. The city of Chefchaouen is located in the North East of Morocco, in the Rif area. This city is known for one thing, sorry for mentioning this dear Miami Administration, hash! They sell it left and right there, they'll take you to plantations, shady houses where they make the stuff etc. But once any of you arrives in Morocco it will be the third thing Moroccans will tell you.
Anyway, let us turn to the historic aspect of the city. The city was painted blue by the Jewish immigrants that came from Spain during the Inquisition. Most Jews at the time settled in Tetouan, which is North of Chefchaouen. Once they arrived they painted everything that was green over in blue, a traditional Jewish color. There is only one problem with this theory, almost every city at the Atlantic in Morocco is blue... Oh well.
Except for a new appreciation for the color blue, there really is not a lot in that city. I mean there is a old destroyed mosque, which overlooks the city from a mountain. There is also a kasbah, which I swear we rocked like Sharif don't like it (thank you The Clash).
During my wandering s of the Holy City, as it is called sometimes, I was pulled into a carpet store. There after an hour long negotiation, the owner invited me to his house for a meal and meet his daughter buy a carpet and while I am at it maybe even marry his daughter. I did not join in this form of Moroccan hospitality and gladly declined. I bolted and was ready to leave.
We soon realized that there is not a lot to do, my friends got baked, while I took random urban living pictures. Yes, for the record so no one asks I do not smoke anything. But everyone else in this city does not resist the temptation i assume. I've never seen so many hippies :P.

We left, our cab understood what Godspeed meant. A trip that lasted almost 7 hours one way, took us 4 hours back, due to the driver's desire to get rid of us crazy Americans.

This is all from Chaouen.
