All Along the Watchtower
After the intensity of the imperial cities, we came to Essaouira on the Atlantic coast to chill for a spell and soak up some warm sunshine before heading back north into european winter.
A fishing port since the Phoenicians in 7th century BC, it has been visited by all the usual historical peoples including the Portagees, who renamed it Mogador from the Phoenician "migdol" meaning watchtower.
More recent and illustious visitors have included Jimmy Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, Orson Welles, Frank Zappa and Jack LaLane.

Jack Lalane? Did you know that LaLanne was addicted to sugar as a child, causing him to commit acts of violence, including setting his parents' house on fire and attacking his brother with an ax?
just thought you should know.
