Sandy and Gail begin their Moroccan adventure in the rose city of Marrakech, where they explore the souks in the medina and the bizarre activities on the square. Their next stop is the fascinating ocean city of Essaouira, stopping first to buy argan oil. Then on to the Atlas mountains, where they hike to remote Berber villages, visit a local market, and sample the hamam bath. Onward to the southeast, stopping first at the film studios near Ouarzazate and then mounting camels for an overnight in the desert at Erg Chebbi. The highlight of the trip was the medina at Fez, where they stopped initially at the ceramic factory, then wandered through the many souks, and finally visited the incredible tannery. Driving north to the blue village of Chefchauen, they stop at the Roman ruins at Volubilis, and end their trip at Rick’s Café in Casablanca (remember the film?).
