In 2016 our post Christmas travel was to Morocco. On 25th January we were in the port of Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast…
It was once the most important ports in West Africa where there was a monopoly in trade with Europe for spices, precious metals, sugar and molasses and in the slave trade to the Americas. Later it was overtaken in importance by Casablanca and Agadir but today it remains a lively, thriving fishing port and the local centre of the boat building industry.
I like be these photos!

those blue robes the men are wearing look similar to the ones worn by the Tuareg men in Timbuktu, except theirs are a deep royal blue

Not good to have fish guts on your pant’s cuffs, Andrew. And if the guts are like dead fish, the longer it stays on, the more it stinks. Not good as a perfume but loved by dogs the world over. –Curt
