The Moroccan Streets
Beautiful, huh? This was taken on the road that goes down to the medina/McDonald’s in Meknes. But those aren’t for keeps - they just tape up the streets with multicolored papers so they can paint the red and white stripes that I hate so much (I think it’s a French thing).
And in other Moroccan street news, apparently Casa has finally caught up with the world and now has bicycle lanes! I don’t know how new these are, as I rarely venture into the richy rich neighborhoods, but this picture was taken on Blvd. d’Anfa, Casablanca:

There used to be nice cycling lanes in manycities in Morocco, about 25/30 years ago, and then they disappeared. Welcome back!

Wow, I’m learning something new! All I hear is complaint from students and friends who like to bike about the lack of bike paths. But not being a biker myself, I’ve never actually noticed the ones that ARE there, I guess!

Watch out for the curbs in Meknes, they are so high i misjudged the depth and twisted my ankle. It was a Saturday night tho….
