More from Marrakech

Here are a few more of my favorite photos from Morocco.

Gala Dinner at an old Moroccan mansion:

Evening entertainment

Candle fountain

One of many beautiful doorways. One thing that struck me was how beautiful and colorful they alwasy seemed to be. In a country where all the buildings are the color of the earth, the doorways were often bright blues and yellows, striking bursts of color.

Look at those amazing tile patterns on the wall!

Palmeraie Golf Palace:

Tea service

Outdoor Excursions:

Escape from the sun

Beautiful craftwork

Enjoying dinner, served in beautiful tents, under the stars:

It was the most incredible experience - to be under a pitch black sky, stars shining bright, palm trees illuminated, warmed by the heat of fires like this one. It felt like we were so very far away from the rest of the world.

And finally, one last trip to the Souks before heading home:

Mosque at night

Little black cobra. Doesn't it look harmless? I'm not so sure it was.

Incredible footwork. The cedar skewers on the table are the final result, which I HAD to buy to bring home to Mark

I love that there were six of us - plus the driver- squeezed into an old Mercedes cab as we headed back to the hotel to call it an early night on our last evening there. Yes, we were all very tired at this point.
