This morning we went to the Chellah in Rabat, which is an interesting combination of Roman and 14th century Merinid ruins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chellah). It is basically a large enclosed area that has a couple different sights like an old mosque, madrassa, gardens, and most interestingly over 450 storks and other birds living all over the place. Of course Erik and Joseph had a great time climbing through the ruins and chasing butterflies.
While somewhat hard to see in this photo, all the white dots in the background are actually birds.

A fun view of the old mosque (notice the stork’s nest on the minnaret)
