Tree climbing goats

.ESSOUIRA     This used to be one of the best kept secrets of Morocco.  It was the most beautiful little beach town.   The medina was so especially wide and beautiful.  The fortress was built by the Portuguese and added so much to the ambience of this little fishing town. 

The main things for sale in Essouira were woodwork and carpets.  And, of course, you had to have fresh sea food. 

When in the area around Essouira, check out the Argan Valley.  Goats actually climbed the trees there to eat from the Argan trees.  Truly amazing!
