I'm joining Mary-Lou for her Take Three Thursday meme with three choices for #23: "A Heart," all found on our trip to Morocco.
Tracy spotted this one on a tomb in the Fes Mellah (Jewish Quarter). Notice the French rather than Arabic. The French held a protectorate in Morocco from 1912-1955. They are responsible for building much of the modern parts of the main cities in Morocco, and French is still spoken by many Moroccans. The French influence is still felt throughout the country. In addition to the public schools, there are both French and American schools. These are private and lessons are taught in French or English, respectively. The two official languages in Morocco are Arabic and Berber. The Berbers represent nearly a third of Moroccans, but their language did not become one of Morocco's official languages until 2016.
This was one of the walls in the restaurant in Fes where we stayed, and had one of the best meals on the tour---a sea bass tagine.
I took several photos of these two storks in their nest, and truthfully, didn't notice that their heads formed a heart until I uploaded the photo.
I still have six more prompts for the Winter Scavenger Hunt to share, and will be back with those in the next day or two.
