Tuesday, February 6.  Slow day.  Drove from Tangier on the expressway.  A typical expressway.  I slept.  Rained a little.

After arrival at a very nice hotel in downtown, we walked to a restaurant for a “snack”.  Turned into quite a meal.  I had Tajine Berbere.  Tajine is an earthenware pot.  Berbere is (apparently) a stew with very tender beef, green peas, and avocado.  You’re supposed to use bread to soak up the sauce, but I’d had enough bread.  It was very good.  Others had pizzas.

Afterwards we walked down to the medina and Jewish quarter.  Nothing much different than the other medinas we’ve seen.  Marvelous pastries, colorful clothing, candies, spices, shoes, shoes, shoes.

This was the end of our pre-extension tour.  At dinner we met the nine other members of the main tour.  Happily they all arrived okay, though I guess a few had some flight issues.
