Before we arrived in Morroco, we hadn't planned on visiting Rabat but since we found the time we are here in Rabat. Rabat is a sprawling neighborhood outside these ramparts. Even within the rampart walls it is crowded. This, after all, is the capital of Morroco. It faces the Atlantic ocean and it breezy and absolutely pleasant. Morrocans are friendly and helpful people and so welcoming, unlike Egyptians. We found Egyptian women, especially those who wear the muslim garb very hostile towards us, 2 Chinese females. They must question our audacity to be so free and to able to travel without a male 'dragoman'. In Morroco, even women in muslim garb are very friendly and accepting.By and large, Morrocans have a higher standard of living than Egyptians. We find that people are happier when their standard of living are better. I'm happier when my bank account is fatter. When I'm happier, I'm a nicer person, it all ties in with money in the pocket. What's this got to do with the ramparts of Rabat? Absolutely nothing!
