It's been quite a while since we visited Morocco. Nonetheless, the memories are never far as the souvenirs included a beautiful rug which graces the floor of the living room and a brass tea table sitting in front of my favorite perch. We roamed the country for three weeks, from Tangier to Casablanca to Marrakesh, along the Atlantic Ocean, across the Atlas Mountains, and into the Moroccan Sahara. Remarkable towns, inviting villages, breathtaking landscapes and people, friendly and happy to invite us to share stories over a glass or two of their traditional peppermint tea. So many things could have gone wrong (miraculously, we managed to outrun a flash flood by a scant hour, we nearly got our car permanently stuck in the soft sands edging a lake, we managed to almost get lost in the desert at night ~ but those are stories for another day ...) and always, when things got dicey, there were people happy to lend a helping hand.
And then there's the music of Oum and the video which gives glimpses of the beauty of the country and its people ~ enjoy ...
