Our first Moroccan experience, Djemma el Fna (downtown square) at night. There are snake charmers with cobras, pickpocket monkeys, street vendors with food and lots of people.
Mom getting kohl (Berber eyeliner) at qn herb shop. This guy was really enthusiastic!
Dad got dressed up in a djellaba by a shop owner.
Mom getting fitted for pointy toe shoes.
The Saadien Tombs are beautiful...
Trying to keep away from the edge! This was during our first day drive with our guide Lahcen.
Beautiful view from VERY high.
We had a cooking class with Raja (yes, like Princess Jasmines tiger!!)
Sitting in the window in the bedroom of T'hami el Glaoui's "preferred wife" (he had 3 wives and each had their own gorgeous room in his kasbah)
The view from our drive through mountains and valleys.
The preferred wife's room in Glaoui Kasbah.
Mountains in the background of our lunch in Glaoui Kasbah. People have beehives set up to gather honey in the countryside.
Marrakesh from the air (sorry these are out of order)
The High Atlas mountains sticking up above the clouds as we flew in.
We got on this flight minutes before it left the ground (due to sitting on the Dallas runway for 90 minutes) But the point is we didn't miss it!! We spent last night in Ouarzazate and are deeper in the mountains tonight at a very cool hotel in the Dades Valley: every room is modeled after a different African country!
The next blog might be a while in coming, and Facebook won't let me log on, so email me please :)
