But it was a pleasant, and very flattering, aspect of Morocco that I did not expect to find until it was about to fall on top of me.
Keep in mind this was only in Casablanca. Fes, Marrakech, Meknes—the more traditional-minded cities still require a step into the Travel Closet. I was doing so much walking those medieval city streets have no room for cars that by the time the sun went down, so did I. Also keep in mind that as modern as Casablanca is, it is not like the morals police will look the other way or that being a foreigner will insulate you from Moroccan law.
