Tangier, Morocco

This weekend, my friend Jake and I headed to Tangier, Morocco (aka Africa). We hopped a ferry out of Tarifa, and hi the heart of the city to head out on a guided tour. Being in a Muslim country is much different, and the culture shock is huge. But it was a great experience and a bunch of fun, especially since it was a new continent. First we took a bus tour around the city, then we got out and walked around on foot through the inner parts of the walled city. We stopped for lunch at a traditional Morrocan restaurant, then went on for some shopping in which the store owners are ruthless in trying to get you to buy some stuff. Here are my pictures as well as a video of a cobra dancing (or just getting ticked off) to a flute.

Oh yea, I got to ride a camel too!



Here is the video. It is a real life Cobra. I'm not usually afraid of snakes, but this close to a poisonous one did kind of freak me out...
