TANGIERS, has changed a whole lot since I was last here in 2002.
The port area and the whole waterfront has been completely upgraded with under ground parking lots, a mosque, a booming marina and tons of housing complexes. I did the hop on off bus with other residents and climbed to top of light house.
We had lunch in an authentic Turkish restaurant with the Medina walls. Yummy chicken tangine w/ apricots, dates, sultans and almonds; couscous; fresh bread olives and eggplant dip and sweet mint and dates with nuts for dessert.

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
