Agadir, Morocco

 We arrived in Agadir later than planned. Apparently we ran into a storm with gusting winds of up to 50 miles per hour delayed us last night. Thankfully, John and I were so tired that we slept right through the winds and waves! Agadir is a beach resort on the Atlantic Ocean. However, today was not a good beach day-although sunny, it was extremely windy with lots of blowing sand. I did manage to get a few good pictures and, as you will see, some things are universal, the world over!
