Onto our bus today for an hour’s drive to the seaside town of Assilah, an old Portuguese-constructed port fortress from the 15th century.  A bit of a squeeze getting us all settled into the bus so it will be interesting to see how we manage tomorrow with our suitcases, but we’re assured everything will be ok.  Inshallah!

Our troops assembled in a surprisingly empty (of people) square for Ev’s daily demo followed by a good few hours of painting the blue and white buildings and alleys.

Later there was a lesson for a few of the group in Arabic calligraphy…

…while others explored the village and its art.  Each year there’s an artists festival here where people express their talents on the walls of the town.

The main meal today was lunch at a Spanish restaurant at the Iberian hour of 3 pm before returning to Tangier.

Off to Chefchauen tomorrow.
