It’s been a while since I blogged, and there’s lots to catch up on, but first I’m sharing my Morocco trip with you while it’s still fresh. Morocco has been one of those places I always wanted to see. It’s a historic entry point to the African continent. Tangier was my destination, an old city built and then ruled variously by Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Visigoths, Arabs, Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and the Dutch. It was designated as an International Zone in 1925, then reintegrated into Morocco in 1956. The strategic location at the confluence of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and within sight of Gibraltar, made it a beehive of espionage and secret operations in World War II.
Morocco was the first nation to recognize the United States as an independent country from Great Britain, thanks to Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah, in 1777. He also gifted a handsome building to the United States in 1821, which became its diplomatic mission until 1956. The building is now the American Legation Museum. It is America’s oldest diplomatic property, and the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas. It’s located in the center of the Medina and is well worth a visit.
A day in Chefchaouen was amazing! The colors in the video speak for themselves.
