Itinerary change--off to Casablanca!

Our guide had been following the weather report on Days 3 and 4, and we learned that heavy snows were forecast in the Atlas mountains overnight.  For safety (and comfort!), our tour company decided to change our itinerary.  While we were going to miss traversing the High Atlas mountains and staying in a tented camp in the western Sahara, we would avoid getting trapped in our motor coach overnight (like one unfortunate group who then had to turn back) and we were going to instead visit the Hassan II mosque and Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic church in Casablanca, visit Marrakesh early (although with no changes to the 3 days' schedule), and then cross over the Anti Atlas mountains to spend 2 days in the southern coastal city of Agadir.

3 meters of snow fell overnight in the Atlas mountains!
