Cover art for Marrakesh Express lyrics by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

We recently listened to this great song on headphones while riding on the Marrakesh express, from Casa Blanca heading south! No animal carpet wall-to-wall any more---the Moroccan trains are pretty civilized these days. In Marrakesh, there are still cobras being charmed in the square and colorful cloth floating in the air and djellabas you can wear at home---yeah. There are also lots of other handmade things to buy, but better to shop in Fez. Forget about hashish, unless you want to land your butt in a Moroccan jail. No sense of humor there.

The only thing that didn't register for us was American ladies 5 foot tall in blue. We observed none of those---no American ladies period, in any height or color. There were lots of Moroccan ladies 5 foot tall in all sorts of colors, though.

Chefchaouen in Morocco called the blue city, because the building are painted blue.
