These photos are beautiful. I must confess that Morocco is one of my favorite countries. Two nights ago I saw the 70th anniversary for Casablanca (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman). Every time I see the movie, it still takes me to Casablanca. If your still in Morocco, there is a lady, , who recreated the entire hotel from the movie. Its amazing (the hotel, Rick’s Cafe) is currently in Casablanca, Morocco. http://www.rickscafe.ma/ (Kathy is formerly with the state department)
If you get a chance you should check it out. Best and safe travels,

Allie – Dinner for 30 cents?! I missed that. One more reason to go back. You described its beauty so well. Thanks for the kind words.

marrakech is one of my favorite cities in the world [dinner for 30 cents, how can you not love it!] and getting lost in the souks… in the midst of the chaos its a beautiful city.

i wish i had your photography skills, though, your photos are incredible!

I just looked through your Blurb book – you captured the colors so beautifully. I love the architecture, the people, the food. I visited as a kid and would love to go back someday, your images brought back so many memories, thank you!

We all have babies to take care of and cuddle. And dream of the big wide world until the day we will be free to travel again. Thank you for this great article and gorgeous photos.

I love these photos. It looks just like Morocco! It hasn’t changed since I was there many years ago.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful images here…there is no way I could nod off to sleep looking at them! I love to travel and that feeling of having a place get inside you and “make your insides swell”. I haven’t taken a trip is a while, I have a child now and a husband, and time and budget are otherwise allocated, but I do draw on those magic moments in lands far away when I am feeling overwhelmed. Keep warm and keep on posting!

Beautiful. Sometimes it is, in fact, better to travel alone to be able to capture everything your eye feels intrigued by, without distraction.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and photographs. As I sit at my desk, feeling like a prisoner behind four-carpeted walls of a cubicle, I can read about your journal and it helps free me from the monotony of my work day. I can relate with your feelings of not wanting to leave such a wonderful vacation, as my new husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Bora Bora. I look over my pictures at least twice a day, and re-read the words in my journal that I am keeping for ‘our first year’. What a great blessing it is to be able to travel the world! I look forward to hearing more about Morocco!

“What better way to leave a place than not wanting to leave? ” : The sign of a very fine trip, isn’t it? I just can’t get enough of your images from Morocco, Ashley. It looks like such a beautiful, vibrant country … like no place I’ve ever visited. When I was in high school, I went with my french class on this really weird cruise and we stopped off in Turkey for a hot second. While only there for I think a few hours, I do remember how colorful and fragrant everything was, even in that port city. I’m sure it was warming looking through the photos on your recent snow week (wow!!)

Ashley,
I was in Morocco for three weeks total, a week in Marrakesh, a week in Essaouira and Tagazoute, and a week spent riding camels in the Sahara and visiting Fes and Chefchaouen. It was the most eye opening experience, and always so visually stimulating- often to the point where I couldn’t even talk to my traveling companions- it would have been sensory overload!
@Becca- everywhere you turn there are places to eat in Marrakesh- you’ll have no trouble. The food market set up at night in the main square Djemma el Fna which is a really interesting experience, but the food is better elsewhere. I really liked the Souk Cafe- unfortunately the maze of the markets is impossible to direct people around, but if you ask a local, they’ll be more than happy to guide you there. They have a lovely rooftop terrace to eat on and the food is served out of the most beautiful pottery. Let me know if you’re headed to Essaouira too, there is the most amazing street food man there!

I’ve been lurking your site for a while and just wanted to say how much i LOVE LOVE LOVE your way of capturing the essence of morocco. I grew up in the middle east and your journey really brought home to me how homesick I am living here in the US.

What a wonderful journey and thanks for sharing it so eloquently with the rest of us. Must add morocco to my list of places I want to see some day.

When I travel to new places, even when I am ready to go home to my routine, my family, my friends, I get overtaken by a sadness…that same fear you talk about–of never being able to return. I think it’s best to think of travels such as this as opportunities to live as fully as possible, and know that the future is full of surprises. I loved your beautiful journal of photos and words. Stay warm lovely! xoxo

@Becca – I’m afraid I don’t. We ate at the Four Seasons – which was amazing. We only ate at one restaurant and I don’t remember the name. Every thing I ate there was amazing. Please do report back when you come home.
