Over the weekend, we took the train to Asilah. It was cloudy and rainy most of the weekend, but it held off enough to walk from the train station into town, and then the see the old media and castle, and go out for a seafood dinner. The next morning it held off long enough to to walk to the train station (19 minutes according to google maps). On the train, there was standing water everywhere, but the countryside is starting to look very green.

 |
| Maybe only because it's the off season, there was wildlife in the town. |
 |
| The clouds and sunlight made for a pretty landscape, and quite pleasant because it was not raining. |

| Palm trees and castle walls. |

| The walk back to the train station. A number of Moroccan cities have the train station well outside of town. Asilah is one of the only town north of Rabat where you can actually see the ocean from the station. It rained while we were having breakfast, leaving all the water on the bridge, and then started again just as the train was leaving the station. |
