If you think Americans use smartphones a lot, they’re nothing compared to the Moroccans. The Moroccans are on their phones non- stop. They even use their cells to tell them when to pray.
There is an app called Qibla which alerts the Muslims when to pray (five times a day) and which direction they should be facing. It is fixed in the direction of the Kaaba in Mecca.
I don’t know why I was so surprised to learn about Qibla. As we all know, there is an app for everything. The digital world is very much alive and active all over Morocco. Each city has their own tech area where new start-ups are being formed everyday. There are people all over the streets selling Apple and Samsung smartphones. Who knows if the phones work but plenty of people were buying them.
Eliot took the following photos today.

Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
They’re taking me to Marrakesh
Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
Wouldn’t you know we’re riding on the Marrakesh Express
They’re taking me to Marrakesh
All on board the train, all on board the train
All on board
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows paintin’ our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
What great photos!
Thank you. How’s Steve ?
Thanks for asking. He was doing so much better a month ago, but has gone backwards recently.
Very frustrating, Lois.
I hate hearing this. I pray for better days ahead,
Oh, Lois. Thanks so much… We also enjoy hearing about your travels and looking at your photos.
