A Whale In Marrakech


I was sliding down a side street in Marrakech when I spied this bit of detritus on a table -- a chunk of whale back bone. The seller knew what it was, of course, but it was odd seeing it so far from the sea in a country we do not often associate with whales. Of course, Morocco has a long Atlantic coast and many whales are out there. No doubt this was a beach find that was traded inland.  Proof, once again, that anything and everything may be for sale on any given day.
