Not in my imagination's sight line, for some reason.<br />What amazes me is how your photos bring exquisite order to the jumble, so that one keenly enjoys both aspects, the riotous abundance but also the artistic vignettes. Quite wonderful.<br />And how lovely Younger Daughter's English blue eyes look in her wine-colored headdress.<br />When these chats with Moroccans take place, in what language are they conducted? French? English? You are both so adventurous!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923213564117527485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-55748546618268506752013-03-17T05:58:56.710-07:002013-03-17T05:58:56.710-07:00Beautiful images...

I had no qualms about walking around even at night, and found people enormously hospitable, friendly and respectful. I'd gladly meet up with you there any day! :)Karen @ Pas Grand-Chosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735158798201053231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-2627025218004315422013-03-10T09:23:19.460-07:002013-03-10T09:23:19.460-07:00Thank you Marsha!

Of course, I know that Morocco would also fead many other senses as well.<br /><br />Your beautiful daughter wears her Moroccan wrapping very well.<br /><br />I do wonder if a single woman traveler would have anything like your journey?<br /><br />Do you sense my envy? xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-88855220633129801812013-03-09T11:28:50.263-08:002013-03-09T11:28:50.263-08:00Exotic AND friendly, you're so right Gina.

Yes, my daughter was a hit with Moroccan boys and propositioned countless times, though always in the most good natured way - people were so friendly and I felt safer walking around than in many parts of the world I've been to. I love your most recent pictures, including the Mellah. How lucky you were to travel around - you've made me really keen to visit Essaouira and other parts of Morocco now!Karen @ Pas Grand-Chosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735158798201053231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-72805714401061175802013-03-09T11:03:06.281-08:002013-03-09T11:03:06.281-08:00Thanks Elsy, and glad to hear you're an Ottole...Thanks Elsy, and glad to hear you're an Ottolenghi fan too!Karen @ Pas Grand-Chosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735158798201053231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-41131941866188104142013-03-09T08:50:59.398-08:002013-03-09T08:50:59.398-08:00I am completely taken away by these photographs an...I am completely taken away by these photographs and by your words, dear friend.
