Morocco

Morocco is a very interesting country. For me it was very alien and a lot like being transported back in time. You will see people from all walks of life on the streets, but beware of the venders, for they stalk tourist in an attempt to sell their goods. It would be an understatement to stay they are very pushy. I traveled to Morocco in the spring of 1997.


Morocco's long struggle for independence from France ended in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, but final resolution on the status of the territory remains unresolved.
