Stars…

May 31st, 2005

It seems like the Moroccans might like stars as much as I do.
Much of the jewlery in the souk (market) has stars on it…so I bought myself a cute ring 🙂
And there’s even one on the flag…

I’ve really nothing more to say then this…just thought I’d mention it.

Gonna go fall in the river…

May 31st, 2005

Leave it to me…the eternal clutz…

My local friend Zakaria and I went to the mountains near Marrakech for a day hike a few days ago. We shared a cab with 2 Canadian girls and their guide. (That’s 5 people plus the driver for those who are counting…)
A 45 minute cab ride brought us to our destination, with a nice little stop in a Berber village to have mint tea (Moroccan Whiskey) with a family. They of course make some money off this endevour, but nothing could beat the view, and the hospitality we were shown. Bread was put out, along with bowls of homemade butter, honey and olive oil. Simple, but utterly delicious! They made sure to invite our cab driver in as well.
