Hi guys! I am a new member as well. I traveled to Morocco a few years ago and fell in love with it. I hope someday to go back soon.

Hey Slave Jitty: Yes I did for a long time.I went the American Shool of Tangiers (www.as-t.org/) all my life, and let me tell you all of the american exchane students that came over or lived there because of government jobs fell MADLY in love with Tangiers. My parents are from there, and I was born here then raised there from age 4 onwards. I LOVE Tangiers, granted it has gone thru changes ... but I equate it to SF in many ways. The topography, crowded housing, hilly streets, windy bay ... . We recently had a world wide alumni meeting here in SF and it was a blast. These people all had one thing in common, the love for the city and community.

Morale of the story is: When passing thru these cities ... sure you will get hassled by those obnoxious guides and maybe cheated, even robbed ... but you know what? It doesn't happen that often. The people there TRULY have a love of hopitality. They treat you like family right away regardless of who yo are, color creed, religion. I miss that and look forward goign back visiting my mom this summer. And if anyone will be there this summer, mi casa es tu casa. We have a nice spacious villa outside of town.

Cheers.

OH HI TATIANA. Welcome.
