Rabat is the administrative capital of Morocco, while Casablanca is the financial capital.
it was like going to Tetoan, but this time, the sun was smiling at us! the sky is soooo blue, and everywhere there is a play of green, yellow and tangerine! it was a 3-hour drive, which showcased to us the different agricultural products of morocco. we saw plantations of bananas, dates, wheat, tomatoes, and others i do not recognize, neatly lined up on plain hills. along the 
road are stretched of plains sans trees, covered with seemingly 'carpeted' grasses, much like the one you see in "The Sound of Music".then, there are also rocky areas with small quaint communities reminiscent of the site location of the 'Babel' movie of Brad Pitt.
forty-five minutes away from casablanca, we had a pit-stop at a gasoline station. it's not the usual caltex or shell stops that we have in manila. it was more of a rustic tranquility enveloped in a charming pastoral setting, with yellow grasses everywhere swaying at the beat of the wind...and there... we saw the "Filipinos" choco bar (made from spain)! it tasted good! did i get offended? nah! i'd save my angry bone on something more deserving...
ohhh, too bad it ended so soon... it has all the elements of my idea of a relaxed road trip--- unfamiliar teritorry, awesome views, blue skies, good company and my random grey matter!
