After 4 flights and a 24 hours stop in Miami, I made it to Tangier around noon and quickly found a hotel. Having not slept for 30-something hours I took a quick nap before heading out. In exploring the city I noticed that at least half of all the businesses were closed due to Ramadan. I spent a couple uneventful hours exploring, was surprised that I was only hassaled a bit, grabbed a bite to eat and crashed for the night.
The next day I took a day trip to Cap Spartel...the location of a large lighthouse at the point where the Atlantic and Med meet. Next to the Grotte de Hercule...the cave in which Hercules rested after he pushed the continents apart. Apparently, over the years these cave have been used for everything from prostitution to fancy high end parties. After my little tour, I spent a few more hours touring the medina (old part of town...busy, bustling market).
Next...to the mountains...
