Ahh....Marrakech...it tantilizes the senses!! The Medina - the old city- has not changed for a very long time. Such a contrast to brand new 5 star resorts popping up to cater for tourists coming for the sunshine! The general population are very poor, its a desert...and many people are farmers!

little narrow streets...often crowded with humanity...and donkeys and motorbikes!

You have a nice blog! Good luck to you!
Your pictures are awesome! I love the colors...
You did a great job on your critter as well! :) He's so cute. I've been wanting to do that with some of Aubie's drawings lately.
Yum! What an amazing adventure. So fun that you could do it with S&L! I'd love to go there someday... someday...
I wonder if any babies land on their heads when they're tied like that in the kitchen... that one looks kind of precarious to me!
