Health standards vary by region. Something tells me hanging meat out in 100+ degree heat isn't the best.


Went on my first camel ride for an hour. It was a lot of fun, but I was sore for a few days


Chillin before the ride


Old Bridge while on camel ride


Don't ask me what it is, because I don't know.. Just saw it on the beach and thought it looked cool


Each day in Essaouira, we would have lunch at the water at one of a dozen fresh seafood stands where you just pointed to what you wanted and they cooked it for you in minutes.


Just relaxing after a filling lunch

I only go for all natural ingredients (check the one in the middle)

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)
