Hassan II Mosque

Today we went to 3rd largest mosque in the world, the only ones that are bigger are Mecca and The Medina, both in Saudi Arabia. It dominates Casa's skyline and we have been waiting for the opportunity to go. Some friends came in from Ifrane and that seemed as good of an opportunity as we could get so we went. Plus we have finally gotten our recipicee for our Carte de Sejour (the Moroccan equivalent of a greencard) which enabled us to get in for almost half- price so that was nice! It was amazingly huge. I was really reminded of the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. It was beautiful and huge inside. The number of people that can be their praying at one time is amazing! After going through all the parts and just being in awe at the size, we were amazed when our guide told us that it was built in only 6 years. They had workers who were working 24 hours a day 7 days a week on the project. We all wished that we could hire those workers to complete construction on our school! :) Check out my picture site to see more pics. I love you guys. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog! Unless your a random person and then thanks for reading my blog, but I don't love you! No offense, I'm sure if I met you I'd probably like you.
