OK, so here's the deal. My intention was to every night of this trip write snappy information for you and download great pictures. But, as I mentioned earlier, internet was not always accessible and often, if it was accessible, it was slow. So..... I got way behind (ugh) but now, I want to catch up. But instead of doing these next entries by dates of the rest of our trip, I am going to write and enter by topic. So my first topic will be Taxis. Yes, you read that correctly. I did a thorough study of the little taxi business of all of towns we drove through. All medium to large towns have different color Petite Taxis.
Rabat's little blue taxi.
Fes had little red cars (or for the native - le petitie rouge taxi).
This light green VW Rabbit was in one of the small towns we went through.
Petite beige in Marakesh.
Petite blanc on the way to Cassablanca.
And in Cassablanca itself - we were back to red!
Petite taxis could take only three people, sometimes four. Then there were large taxis that could take multiple fares which made things much cheaper for the passengers but then I guess you had to perhaps venture out of your way to get the other passengers to your destination.
When we rode in the blue taxis in Rabat, we had great drivers. One guy wanted to get us to enlist Michael's help to get him a VISA (our mistake for telling him where our son-in-law worked.) The second one who brought us home from one of our adventure days on our own wanted to teach us Arabic words for common things that we might need to know.
