Alicia and I arrived in Marrakech this morning! The plane ride here was... interesting to say the least. Rather than sitting next to Alicia like the booking agent had promised, I was put next to a 400-lb., angry Moroccan woman who spoke no English and spent half the plane ride yelling over me to her friend in the middle aisle.
That was all forgotten, however, when the captain announced that we would be bypassing Casablanca (where we were supposed to have a two-and-a-half-hour layover) for Marrakesh (thank God for the volcanic ash!).
Anyway, Marrakech is by far the most spectacular place I've ever been. Some highlights from our trip thus far:
- Shopping at the souks
- Bahia Palace
- Veggie tanjine
- Meeting two Robins (both of whom spelled their names with an "i")
- Meeting someone who looked identical to Rebecca
We are also staying in an incredible hostel for the night - complete with a pool (see photo at left). I'll post more photos to Flickr as soon as I have a chance!
Well, at least your family will not be forgotten! There are reminders of them everywhere! :) If you keep up that shopping, where will you put it all? Love ya!
ReplyDeleteDid you get a tatoo? Marrakech looks fantastic. When you get back we need to get together to hear and see the adventure.
