Behind the Wheel

This blog would be incomplete without some photos and commentary on driving. Aside from freeways, I have not driven the streets of Morocco during our stay. I'm scared. I am such a passive Seattle driver, it's not so much that I'm scared of Moroccan drivers, but of my slow reaction. Either I'd get rammed into, or I'd be sitting at a stop for a very long time waiting for my turn which wouldn't come until I made it happen. I've been feeling more confident lately that if push comes to shove, I could do it. If we were to stay here longer, I would just bite the bullet and get behind the wheel because not driving has been a bit of a drag. We've done well, but I'm sure Imad is ready to no longer escort me around and I'm ready for the freedom to jump in the car and drive myself where I need to go.

Here are a few fun street shots.

This guy was rollerblading getting a free ride holding onto the truck right in the middle of a busy downtown street.

Check out Moroccan tow trucks.

Nice parking!
