We’re back from our tropical respite in Marrakech, Morocco (aka Marakesh). We wandered the cramped alley ways of the Medina’s souks and stalls, sat amongst groves of olive trees with picnicing locals, watched school children play football (soccer) along the city walls, hiked through the Atlas Mountains (in inappropriate shoes…again!), sipped mint tea (too sweet for me, ick!), snacked on yummy skewers of meat and snail stew, watched sunset above Jemaa el Fna (the main square), listened to the birds sing over breakfast on our Riad’s beautiful balcony and generally enjoyed a dose of sunshine and family time in Beautiful Marrakech.We’ll upload more details from our trip throughout the week (check back for more), but for now, here are a few links to our photos from the trip.
