El-Jadida was been wonderful; first time I've bought 2 nights in the same hotel here in Morocco... about $12/night (120 Dh) for clean facilities, comfortable beds, and free hot showers, towels, sheets, AND toilet paper! But it's more the culture in this little town that I've loved.
Far from the business-first attitude of Casa and Rabat, El-Jadida is a resort town for Moroccans. I'm the rare one here. But I've never felt out of place.
I've met a group of beach toy salesmen my age at the beach, and am older man from Marrakesh at a cafe (la Renaissance), and I've constantly been fed, offered chairs, had my things guarded while swimming, etc. I've done my best to be a good guest in return--the proverbial "gift from Allah." I'm sure actual gifts helped too...
Marrakesh tomorrow? We'll see, I guess.
