Volubilis...et au revoir Maroc

Today is my last day in Morocco; I'm taking the train to Casablanca this afternoon and then flying to Cairo tonight. While in Egypt, I will be with a tour group and I'm not sure if I will be able to do any blog updates. However, since I posted about 4 new items today, that should keep you busy reading for a while. :-) If I can't post anything while in Egypt, I will be sure to update when I get home. (Ahhhh, home, that sounds really nice.)

Yesterday I chartered a Grand Taxi to take me to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis (and the nearby small town of Moulay Idriss). The scenery along the way was breathtaking and the ruins were fascinating; I can see why this was a location for Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ. Just gorgeous!!!!  It was also really nice to be alone in the quiet for a while.  Nobody around, no men gawking, nobody trying to talk me up, just plain old peace and quiet.  Ahhhhhhh.....


I did meet this ancient Roman donkey, but he was pretty quiet.
