Reflections of Morocco

Overall, Morocco was amazing. Spain, and the European culture in general was way more similar to ours back in the United States than Morocco. It is so astonishing to see and recognize that people today, are living as if it was a thousand years ago. Driving through the Atlas Mountains, we were able to see an entirely different lifestyle than anything remotely close to in the United States. I also noticed the power of American culture and certain American companies, such as Coca-Cola. Here we are driving through the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and we are able to purchase a Coke in a somewhat run-down street side convenience store. It is said that around the world, a Coca-Cola is what embodies American culture the most; Coke in a sense embodies “The American Dream”. It is amazing how admired American culture is around the entire world. Morocco was a whole new and completely different experience than Spain. I can’t wait for our voyage to Namibia and South Africa!
