Drove the excellent A7 motorway ("Autoroute du Maroc") from Agadir to Marrakech through a low pass in the High Atlas mountains. Interesting geology but not allowed to stop ("Arret Interdit") anywhere for photos. Just have a few.
Tonight was the UEFA Champions League final match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, with Real heavily favored. I walked around the Place close to where I'm staying, near the train station, and found a smoky dive bar to watch the game. Most of the patrons were Real fans, not surprisingly, so it was fun to watch the crowd when they were down 1-0 until the 93rd minute in injury time, when Sergio Ramos scored to send the match into overtime. Then Atletico just didn't have the stamina to withstand Real and fell apart, losing 4-1. Very entertaining.
Wonderful fish meal at highly-reviewed Al Bahriya. An older French couple sat down beside me at the communal tables and shared a bit of their fish with me. Turns out they will be on the same train as me to Fes the next day!
