As we leave Casablanca this evening we wind up a week here in Morocco where everyone has taken trips far and wide to see and learn about the country. It is 99% muslim and most are known as Berber people. Like our black people they have been promoting pride in their culture and gaining destinction. They were once nomads but now have their farm, grazing lands, sheep and goats. They make much of the craft items found in the market and shops in the cities. The cities seem to be bustling, especially with increase tourism. Even with water shortages they are building golf courses, swimming pools and condos by the the thousands. Women are mostly unveiled and gaining political power. They, by law, must constitute 40% of the parliment.
Being here during Ramadan has been interesting as the muslins for 30 days do not eat or drink from sun up to sun down. At night fall the city is jumping with activity. The king is age 42 and is in much favor having liberalized many of the customs such as allowing non muslims to visit the mosque, and expanding education. There are 120 US manufacturing companies here and the relationship with our country is good. Morocco was the first country to recognize the new USA in 1777. Next stop, Ghana.
