It would be interesting to curate a collection of towns throughout the globe which have chosen a particular color or motif and convinced everyone to run with it.
Perfectly captured sentiments. They dynamics of those tours are sometimes a bit odd, all those cultures and expectations jumbling together into a bus. But we've also met some really great people that way. It's a roll of the dice. I also ran into the world's friendliest American in Chefchaouen, he came up to me at a restaurant and we chatted amicably for a while and then he tried to sell me drugs.
Another funny thing I've noticed is that my old photos of Chefchaouen, which I took on a crappy film camera, make the blue look much paler than I now see in social media posts. This makes me wonder if 1) they repainted the town in a darker blue, or 2) modern phone cameras are just much better at capturing vibrant colours now. Maybe a bit of both.
You must have found the only silent French in the country, lol! I suspect the couple had a tiff (sounds like a Moroccan word...) ...
I think they'd had a tiff with Morocco to be honest!

I like this idea! There could be a good rainbow-themed travel challenge in this.
Absolutely. You’ve given us a good start with this piece.
Good job for completing the blue quest! Also, urgh, French people :S
