Morocco Day 1

Morocco = Magical

We only had two quick days but Morocco is at the top of my list of favorite places.


Our Riad (hotel) inside the Medina



There are no cars allowed inside the Medina so everything is transported by donkeys or pull carts


Some homes don't have ovens so people take their bread to the local baker to be made. This guy is not happy I'm taking his picture so he's "blocking my evil eye"


Camel meat, anyone?


other treasures from the market...




It was all too exciting for Lila...


We hired this guy to take the girls around because we did lots of walking. All his friends made fun of him but he had the last laugh after what we paid him for his two days of work :)






local school


crazy cat lady


lots of shopping


Tannery, where leather is processed in baths of cat urine and pigeon poop, yep that's right...stinky

One more gift

After all the gifts were opened on Christmas Eve Jared and I presented my parents with one more gift. Grand baby # 16 coming will be coming sometime in August. Most people wait to tell friends/loved ones ( I was only 4 weeks and had just found out myself) but because I was already feeling the effects of nausea we broke the news. Besides, Leanne my sister in law caught me wearing my copper bracelet and confronted me :)

Christmas Eve

The pillow pets were a big hit
