on my second afternoon wandering the Medina in Tangier i came across a groom and his family & friends taking part in a pre wedding ritual where the groom walked a young bull through the medina to much fanfare, music & dance. The bull was then slaughtered and people rubbed some of the bulls blood onto their bodies. I followed this procession for nearly an hour taking photos. This young boy was trying to get closer to his mother in the large crowd.
"No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes..." The Lyrics to King of the Road come to mind when thinking of Tangier. On an island with a year-round population of about 500, it's a laid back and tranquil pace of life with a unique dialect.
Tangier Rappahannock Cruises whisked us from Buzzard Point Marina to Tangier Island late in the morning of May 14, 2016. We rented a golf cart to get around the island since there are no vehicles. I used a Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2 to track points along the route as best I could.

The history of Tangier is very rich due to the historical presence of many civilizations and cultures starting from the 5th century BC. Between the period of being a Phoenician town to the independence era around the 1950s, Tangier was a place—and, sometimes a refuge—for many cultures. However, it was not until 1923 that Tangier was attributed an international status by foreign colonial powers, thus becoming a destination for many Europeans, Americans and others.
