I don't think Moroccans care how foreigners dress or what they do - thus the availability of alcohol to us at our hotel in Tangier. We weren't allowed in mosques, so there were no places in need of us to dress especially modestly (such as for visits to temples in Asia and churches in Europe). Morocco has no state dress code for women - we saw lots of bare heads in the cities. Moroccans were unfailingly polite, and often very friendly. The only people who stared at us the whole trip were Chinese tourists who were amazed that such old women were riding bikes. They asked for photos of us!

All those bare legs!! Locals must have been going nuts!

Like many of the photos I'll post, it wasn't taken by me! I believe Leslie took this. Robyn is also a terrific photographer, armed with an iPhone 15 pro.

They are soooo yummy!

It is always too early in the day to eat salt cod for us!

What a great photo!

You sure had a busy day and a lot of walking! It should help you adjust to the time difference. I’m always so tired when I arrive to do much of anything.

Portugal in general is very hilly.

Wow, what an ordeal! I hope the flight goes well.

It was a great trip! We're all home now. I wish I could have posted during the trip, but: (a) I was too tired each night and (b) very few of our lodgings had internet that was good enough for uploading pics. We covered some of the same ground as your trip, but we had 14 days so covered more ground, and had days off the bike too.

How exciting! That’s great you got so many friends and your sister to go along. I can wait to read about your adventures!

It should be a fantastic tour - I loved my time in Marrakech and cycling in Atlas Mountains was amazing. Looking forward to following along.
