TANGIERS, has changed a whole lot since I was last here in 2002.
The port area and the whole waterfront has been completely upgraded with under ground parking lots, a mosque, a booming marina and tons of housing complexes. I did the hop on off bus with other residents and climbed to top of light house.
We had lunch in an authentic Turkish restaurant with the Medina walls. Yummy chicken tangine w/ apricots, dates, sultans and almonds; couscous; fresh bread olives and eggplant dip and sweet mint and dates with nuts for dessert.

Another fun day with the Miller's exploring Curacao! We started by exploring the bustling port and capital city of Willemstad . This is a Dutch Caribbean Island with a large Dutch community. Known for its old town center with pastel colored colonial architecture. The floating Queen Emma Bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods. The old Rio Fort has been converted into a shopping center. After walking and exploring most of the morning, we taxied to KOKOMO BEACH to chill for the afternoon. It's a private beach club with a bar and restaurant and a nice calm swimming area and beach.
