Goats in Argon Trees
This is one of your best photos. I love learning about places I may never get to visit except through your eyes.

Hi guys. Loved reading your blog and looking at the photos. It brought back such fond memories for us of Essa! Hope you can make it to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou too - it is well worth the trip. :D S+D

Hi Cindy
Glad you are following along. What a nice country to explore. The people are wonderful. We are currently in Essouria and think you would love it as it is a beach town. Having seafood for dinner.

Oh, the memories
Thank you C,S,N and Y. Now we know how to pronounce the name of the city in that catchy tune! Pics are wonderful, and the notes are enjoyable.

Color, color and more color
Loved the pictures- the hills of vibrant colored spices, the camels, the mosques but mostly the dentist and his wares. I am sending your blogs onto Val ( my travel partner). She visited Morrocco a few years ago and loved it. They slept out in the desert in tents. Thanks,Carolyn

Blue Spice
MJ, what is the name of the cobalt blue spice? It looks gorgeous, but I have no clue what it might be. Can you enlighten me?

Hi Rene
The blue is not a spice but a dye. It comes from ground sea shells and they use it to dye leathers and wools. I think they put it on display with the spices because it is so colorful.

I'm loving reading your blogs...
We have just decided this morning to spend time over Christmas in Morocco - we'll be arriving in Marrakesh on Dec. 5th, so I am reading your blogs eagerly. I was wondering if you could give me some details about your guide - how you found him, is he with you all the time, and if I may ask, how much it costs to have him with you. I would love to have a guide for some things - like visiting the tanneries and the souk... do you feel you could drive yourselves without a guide... Thanks, it would be great if you could help me out with this. By the way, I'm not surprised Dave didn't enjoy the dentist experience - looks scary!

No holiday to Morocco (let alone anywhere else) is complete unless one encounters a camel!

What wonderful pictures. It sounds like this has been a great trip. I wish I had been able to spend more time in Morocco. Enjoy and keep blogging so we can travel with you. See you when you are back in SF.

Happy memories
Great blogs guys! Your photos bring back so many memories of one of my favorite countries, I love almost everything about Morocco - the colours, the food, the people, the shopping...but I am amazed when anyone says they actually enjoy listening to the call to prayer, you are obviously more 'morning people' than I am!! Enjoy the rest of your trip around Morocco.

We laughed about the call to prayer
Yes, we are morning people. For the past twenty + years we've been getting up at 5am for work so even when we sleep in we are half awake. We agree with all that you have said and hope to publish a blog soon about the countryside. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hey Dave,
I'm still shy about asking people if I can take a close up photo. I'm a working on it. You have set the pace and we will see if we can follow.

Hi Shane,
Our mascot Brutus is having a grand time. We are both from the state of Ohio and there is a tree called a buckeye tree. My husband attended The Ohio State University and Brutus in their mascot, a buckeye nut with a body. So, now, Brutus will travel to exotic lands with us. He is having a grand time and enjoying being out of Ohio.
