serenity

Asilah, Morocco

“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy.” 

                                                            -Swami Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras

unbeatable views

Kaf Lahmam, Asilah, Morocco

If you're hungry or thirsty or just need a break from being under the sun, you can always go to one of the beach stands for a refreshment or enjoy a meal of freshly grilled fish.  The views are unbeatable!

a ride to the beach

Kaf Lahmam, Asilah, Morocco

What a great way to get to the beach!  If I remember right, it took us less than an hour to get here from Asilah.

getting there

Kaf Lahmam, Asilah, Morocco

If you don't have your own transportation to get to the beach, and feel adventurous like when you were a kid without a care in the world, I suggest this option.  I'm sitting on a flat cart behind the horse taking the picture, just as you see the people ahead of me.  :)

just another day

Asilah, Morocco

This rocky coastline can be found just outside the fortified walls of Asilah; however, miles and miles of sandy beaches can be found to its north and south.

fortified town on the Atlantic

Asilah, Morocco

Asilah has seen the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Portuguese and Spanish settle here at some point in its history.  It was the Portuguese, in the 15th century, who built the fortified walls surrounding this whitewashed city sitting on the northwest Atlantic coast of Morocco.  Today it is a popular holiday destination which offers beautiful long sandy beaches and hosts international art and music festivals in the summer.
