Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V, was very interesting. The Catholic cathedral near the Hotel De La Tour Hassan where I stayed was also very interesting. I did not have much time to be a tourist as I was on a job assignment. Spent many days with Mr Brahim Sidate in Rabat and Casablanca making trips associated with the project in his automobiles. Late July, early August, 1986.
Mr Brahim Sidate, who I worked with was a very good man and host. We spent a lot of time driving between Rabat & Casablanca every day. I met a musician who played at the upstairs bar in the evening at the hotel. He spoke english very well and liked to chat with me between sets to practice his english and ask me questions. He and his girlfriend took me into the central business district of Rabat on the Sunday afternoon I had free. We had mint tea and chatted at a outside cafe there. They walked me back to the street to take back to the hotel and left me on my own. I found my way back and went on up to the Catholic cathedral not far from the hotel.
The project sight was in Casablanca, and spent quite a lot of time on the roof and upper floors of a government building installing two way radio equipment. I can remember the fountian and flowers and trees in the square near that building. The building is where the headquarters of the Gendarme Royale is located.
