So I looked at this, and I said to myself: "Gosh, that really reminds me of the train station in Casablanca, where we waited forever for that train to Marakesh."

So I fired up Google Earth, and found the train station in Casablanca, with the clock tower I remembered, and it wasn't right. But DANG if I wasn't sure I was in the right country.

So I looked at Tanger (nope), Rabat (I AM in the right country), Marakesh (no), Fez (almost), Meknes (almost again). No dice. I tried further afield in Algiers (no) and Tripoli (are there NO rail stations in Libya?)

I convinced myself I was looking too far afield from my original hunch, and went back to Casablanca. And I found the correct image, 4 1/2 miles west of where I first looked, in a place called Ain Sebaa. :)
