MSp 03 - Rescuing our bags, World's 3rd largest mosque, Rick's, BlueParrot, Sam's Piano




It's  now  Wednesday  here. 
Found  a  cafe  with  Internet,  so  we've  just  sent  off  un - numbered  #2.   
We  rode  the  train  to  airport  and  picked  up  our  unlocked  2  bags  that  are  missing  nothing!   


Last  early  evening  we  got  several  nice  sunset  shots  of  the  world's  3rd  largest  mosque.   
Toured  it  this  afternoon.    
One - third  of  it  sits  over  the  Atlantic  Ocean.      It  holds  25,000  people.   
Met  4  tiny  Malaysian  gals  outside  on  the  enormous  open  courtyard.  
18  and  19  year  olds  studying  here  in  Casa  for  3  years.  
Speak  English  perfectly  and  made  it  clear  we  need  to  see  their  beautiful  country  NEXT.   
We  enjoyed  a  long  photo  shoot  and  giggle  session  together.


Then  we  decided  to  peek  into  the 
movie  legend  of  Casablanca  fame  . .   "Rick's  Cafe" 
aiming  to  click  a  few  night - lighting  shots.  
Ended  up  sharing  dinner  upstairs  in  the  equally  famous  "Blue  Parrot"  room 
where  the  movie  plays  constantly.     Gorgeous  setting  inside.    
For  a  film  with  not  one  minute  actually  shot  here  they  have  certainly  capitalized  on  the  idea 
and  it's  bringing  lots  of  tourism,   plus  providing  a  bundle  of  jobs  for  Moroccans. 

( We're  having  TEA  . .  on   . .   Humphrey  Bogart  Blvd . . ) 

We'll  find  the  little  'lightning'  cord  to  transfer  photos  from  Camera  to  iPad 
so  next  mailing  should  be  mostly  pics.  
And  . .  ready  or  not  . .  it's  time  to  move  South  on  the  map.
