I just got back from a really fun trip to Marrakech in Morrocco with my friend John. He went there to buy rugs for his shop and we saw cool things including:
the airport in Marrakech
lanterns for sale in the market
crazy geometries in tile
storks who live on top of the city walls and watch the little kids below them drive mopeds and pull their friends on rollerblades behind them or grab onto the back of taxis and ride with them
stop signs in Arabic (and a man in his thirties driving a moped holding a child that couldn't have been more than 6 months old, and a man riding his bicycle with a washing machine perched on the rear)
useful items for sale in the flea market
bundles of sticks
lots of old metal stuff
many mosques
a bedroom at the house where we stayed
the city walls
more nice geometry
the courtyard of the house at night
stacks of drinking mugs
John and his friend Corrine who lives in Morocco smiling
at a dreamy place called the Beldi where we
went swimming
and smelled fields of roses.

Thanks for sharing these pictures with us. It looks like a fascinating place -- one I have always wanted to visit.

It is a poem, this post. So compelling. The drinking mugs, the sticks, the swimming, the house. Great work.
It looks beautiful Stephen. I loved the descriptions. Did you see Aladin?
Wow! What a trip! So many beautiful sights. I'm wondering though, did you load up on useful remote controls? You never know when you might need several of those. Especially when you don't even have a TV.
I hope you brought me back some of those remote controls.
What are the sticks used for? They look giant! Sounds like a very fun trip. Love U :)
