Meknes, Morocco


The second day we were in Meknes. This was our first taste of Moroccan culture. It was so crazy, so different, nothing that I ever could have imagined or prepared myself for. We walked through markets with kids 6 years old trying to sell us keychains and other things. They followed us and followed us and followed us. We would say no over and over again and they continued to follow us. Very eye opening…
we would also walk through the markets and see full cows skinned and gutted hanging from the outside of the shop that was selling the meat, I heard several chickens getting their heads chopped off and feathers plucked. Our tour guide(AMAZING tour guide) brought us to a store that sold traditional Moroccan dresses. All very beautiful, the women there wore the most colorful clothes I have ever seen. I loved it!
For lunch this day after we were all finished we were told we ate lamb… :\ I just cant stress enough how I will not be eating meat when I get back in the US. I can do it to experience the culture here, but once I step foot on US soil, no mas carne…
for dinner we went to a traditional moraccan dinner. People who bought the dresses wore the dresses. During dinner there was a band playing some awesome drums and there were belly dancers. So cool and so much fun!
