Life
September 19, 2009 by Adrian

There is so much life in Marrakech.  We have been here a few months now and I feel I have hardly scratched the surface.  It is hard to decide where to go each day, what to see – I want to drink it all up at once, breath it in.  But I have to go slowly, a day at a time and sip at it.

It is a pleasure to behold.  An assault on the senses to such an extent you become dizzy and many stops are needed for mint tea from where you can sit and watch and refresh your mind as to why you are there doing what you are doing.

Having recently come back from our summer sojourn I am a bit behind. However, here are a few visions from my wanderings.

Pouring the mint tea – such a beautiful thing to watch someone do.  I was complimented recently by a wise old looking Moroccan on the way I was pouring my tea in a cafe – a fine art!
