Far & Away: Morocco

I have had the great fortune of traveling to a lot of interesting places. One of the most exotic places I visited was Morocco. 

I have a friend from France who has a sister that is a teacher. She has taught in many different countries. While she was in Morocco, we were in touch and I received an invitation to come visit. 

It was a wonderful visit that lasted 2 weeks. It was enough to get an appreciation of the Moroccan culture and people but not enough time to explore it all. 

I was able to visit Marrakesh, Agadir, and Essaouira. 

I learned some Arabic phrases. I ate on the floor out of a tajine dish. I cooled off in the many fountains. I shopped in the souks. I wiled away the hours talking to an elderly man. I watched a skilled snake charmer do his thing. 

Amazing country with beautiful people.
