Morocco!
HI Merry Jo and Dave, Loved reading about Morocco so far, but only the first photo of the Moroccan flag came through. All the subtitles of the photos were intact, however. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'll try to pull up your blog on my computer at work. Would love to see the photos! The cuisine sounds interesting!

Hi Bob and Linda
We could not agree with you more that it was time for us to explore some new lands. The foods and culture of Morocco are wonderful. Our next installment will provide information about Fez which is a fascinating city.

I'm with you!
Love it! Because I had to be back in Manila to attend a wedding, I missed Morocco when I visited Spain and Portugal in 2002. It's nearly a decade now, so it is time to head back and check out Morocco too. What stunning photos --- you captured the "spirit" of the place. Write us a journal of every place and food you see/tasted! Can't wait.

Morocco
I am so envious......Morocco is a place I have been dying to go. I'm reading your blog with even more interest than usual if that's possible. We just got back from 9 days in Rome and 10 days in Paris and had a wonderful time. It was a different trip for both of us in that we stayed in only two hotels (actually one was a B&B) in the almost 3 weeks we were away. It was lovely not to have to pack and unpack every few days. As you know the food and wine were superb.

Sonja, we send you Moroccan greetings!
You must add Morocco to the list. Great things to explore at a reasonable price. Your recent trip sounds lovely. I'd like staying in one place for an extended time. You'd get to know the people and the neighborhoods. More coming soon. We are a few days behind on the writing.

Thank you!!
A country like Morocco makes it so both hard and easy to describe the tantalizing flavors dancing on your taste buds.

So happy to see you are 'on the road again'
Delighted to read your wonderful blogs and see your great pictures. I have not been to Morrocco ( Val had) but the decriptions of the foods reminded me of the wonderful meals we had in Egypt. Carolyn ( gunga)

Hi Carolyn,
I'm sure you are the traveler who would love all that Morocco has to offer. I do imagine it is similar to your experience in Egypt. Can't wait to hear what you have planned for your next trip.
