Our ship docked in the port of Casablanca first thing Monday morning. Soon we were surrounded by three huge cruise ships. They dwarf our clipper ship. Casablanca is a big, busy city. We walked 30 minutes to the beautiful, huge Hassan II mosque on the coast. It holds 25,000 worshipers. We got to watch the retractable roof open. It was built in the '80s by the King and cost $800,000,000. After seeing it, the cost seems like a bargain. The photos don't do it justice. Susan is standing in front of one of the massive titanium doors in one photo to give perspective. And the minaret is 650' high.
