Parchi is an ancient baord game, of which Ludo is a slightly simplified form. It's all the rage in the cafés of Tangier but I havn't encountered it elsewhere in Morocco. A game of Parchi over a mint tea is a great way to meet ordinary Moroccans.

 Michael Palin, Mustapha and
his wife by freya_heaven
We walked up to St Andrews church, which was featured in the first episode of Sahara.
As we were walking through the Church yard we saw the back of a man locking up the church door. Derek was saying "its him", I was saying "its not him". By the time we had finished the man was walking towards us with a big grin offering to give us a tour of the church, IT WAS HIM..................
It was Mustapha Cherqui, or otherwise known as "Mr Thankyou very much". Within the first sentence we heard those famous words "thank you very much", it was confirmed it was indeed the man who Michael Palin had met.
He gave us a tour of the church, bell tower,we were even allowed to ring the church bells! As well as showing us through the Vicars private rooms & draws! And to round it off gave me a bunch of flowers which were displayed near the altar.
I told him how famous he now was in Britain, and he said that Mr Palin had kept intouch for a while once he had returned home.
Mustapha is such a great character & Pleasent chap, Visit him if you are ever in Tangier, he would be chuffed I'm sure. Leave a Comment Address: Rue d' AngleterreDirections: Just south of the Grand Socco

 Luncheon entertainment by Sue08080
The food was good and the surroundings and entertainment certainly added to the experience. This was very touristy but fun, none the less. Leave a Comment

From 1821 until 1956, the U.S. diplomatic mission to Morocco was located here in the old, walled Medina of Tangier. With the end of the French Protectorate in 1956, all embassies moved to the capital, Rabat, but the American Legation continued as a Consulate for another five years until a new consulate was built outside the old Medina. Thereafter, the American Legation building served as an Arabic language school for American diplomats (8 years) and a Peace Corps training center (3 years).
In 1976 the Old American Legation (as it is known in Tangier) stood empty and in a sad state of disrepair. Concerned about it fate, a group of American citizens established a public, non-profit organization. The Tangier American Legation Museum Society (TALMS). They obtained a lease from the Department of State to rent the Legation building.
Morocco was the first power that recognized the United States of America as an independent country, and in response to that courtesy an American embassy was established in Tangier back in 1777.
The old American Legation now serves as a museum where there is no entry fee, but every visitor has to be guided around by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The interior is not really fantastic or impressive, but always tasteful. There are also collections of art of highly differing quality (locally stationed American artists). You will pass through several reception rooms as well as the tiny garden just one storey above the street. Leave a Comment

Avenue d'Espagne/Place de la Marche Verte, in front of the port (main pic), rue de la Liberté (2nd pic), Boulevard Pasteur area (3rd pic): All these areas are close to the Medina and have their own flavour. Leave a Comment
