Even though I have seen Marrakech many times in movies or on TV it was still very foreign and striking to arrive here and see all of the donkeys and sunset colored buildings and camels and palm trees. It is like an Arabian L.A. but much calmer. Everything seems to move slowly and there is no rush for anything which is good since nothing runs on time. There are snake charmers, monkeys, and live music in the medina and the architecture is reminiscent of Sevilla. One of the most noticeable things qre the men wearing the jallabas which are pointy, hooded, long robes that look exactly like star wars jawas. Correction: Notre Dame is not in Fleurbaix- it is in Paris. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused for my oh so observant readers. The computers aren't working as well as I had hoped so pictures are not in any order and may not match the text with which they accompany.

Hey did Adam help you make the Star Wars reference? Marrakech looks very sweet--sounds like you are having fun!! I still REALLY want a good story about a spider......maybe you could find where they are sleeping and wake one up for me. Thanks!
I am so excited that this lets you post as anonymous--I can never remember the password!
