I understand about the wind; honestly, my little camera failed after the Morocco trip, but it was from flying back to Europe then to SE Asia in short order (I think).
That was nowhere near too much (or even enough) information. I would love to know more about the men's attitudes (did they suggest marriage?) and generally about how easy it was to travel solo as a woman. Honestly, the only solo woman I met there was a German woman who cut her hair short and basically dressed and acted as a boy. The women I met in Rabat were unable to act American (of course), though they snuck out that night to the foreigner restaurant.
To be fair, the harassment in the Grand Place in Marrakesh was equal. The foreign girls I saw parading through there only served as a momentary distraction from me and my buddy G. He was most disappointed, as he has always been able to blend in all over Europe and he speaks fluent French -- he thought that would be enough. It wasn't, even though I was forbidden to stand near him in Marrakesh (I was an easy target). It really didn't matter.
