Farewell Dinner

Toasting to new friendships and future trips is what life is about...:-)

What enticed me to visit Morocco?
Could it have been the country,the culture,the couscous...;-)
What makes anyone travel so far?...It is all about connecting....connecting with experiences that will  touch your life,your heart,your soul!
It's about going without expectations and returning  transformed.

St . Augustine said it so eloquently....
The World is a book,and those who do not travel only read the first page.

We climb unto the bus to travel through the Ourika Valley. (Yes, bright and early once again..;-) Our first stop.... visiting a market in one of the small villages. Where were all the woman,I thought? I was told that this was a mans only market. Women are scheduled a day to visit the market. Men did all the shopping and brought home the groceries. Usually, if you saw a woman by her self,it meant she was a widow and did not have a man as head of the household representing her. (Somehow you can see me getting in trouble...hmmmmmm....;-)
The next stop was a special one....truly a highlight! We stopped to have traditional mint green tea with a Berber (orignal tribe of people who may have traveled from the East)  family. Four generations live under one roof. What humble and very hospitable souls!
