Cool artwork just outside the Madrassah


Loved artwork this intricate in detail


Dinner just outside Marrakech at this phat Thai restaurant with an amazing ambience, second to none.


We visited a leather tanning cooperative. The fumes were too much to handle. It smelled like raw sewage mixed with curry. (enough said)

Trying to blend in with the locals. I didn't want to wear anything that made me look like a tourist. Passed with flying colors, ya think?


Local market, some people spotted me straight away as an American, others thought I was British and one thought i was an Aussie and kept calling me Kiwi.


What trip wouldnt be perfect without a visit to...


Koutoubia Mosque minaret


Local signs in case I got lost.. (like it would help)
