Morocco Part 3: Rif Mountains and Chefchaouen (plus Gibraltar)

We drove up into the GORGEOUS Rif Mountains - I took lots of photos :-)
We stopped in a mountain village and had lunch with a family there. They welcomed all of us into their home, and all their neighbors came over to talk with us, too. We all had lunch, talked about Morocco through a translator, and played with all the kids!
This was the greatest game of peek-a-boo I've ever played. I'm so glad Louise captured the moment on her camera:

We went to Chefchaouen for the night. It was a little more touristy than some of the other places we'd visited, but absolutely gorgeous, despite the rain! We got great views from the roof of our hostel:
A walk through the rainy streets (everything is BLUE!):

Also, the day before we crossed the strait to Gibraltar, Stephanie and I took a quick trip to Gibraltar to see the famous rock and Barbary apes!
