A four hour drive got us to Tangiers where we met our local guide, Mohammad. At 84 years old he sure was spry! He shared lots of history and fascinating information on the sea port city that boasts shoreline on the Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean and the strait of Gibraltar. Spain is only 15 km away so there’s lots of Spanish spoken too. Many people in Morocco speak at least 3 languages and most more. Arabic, French, Berber, English and Spanish are the most common.
Another couple of hours driving through the Rif mountains got us to Chefchaouen, the blue city. By this time is was quite dark so we just got a taste of the beauty of the blue painted streets on our way to dinner.

Moroccan Pharmacy. Jars of healing herbs
Where in the world is Grandma? 
Awesome photos! I wonder if there is something in that pharmacy that would help Alzheimer’s. It will be terrific if it turns out the answer lies somewhere in nature.
