Morocco

What do you do when you have 70 bucks and a free weekend . . . . you go to North Africa. This past summer Danielle and I found tickets on easyjet for $70 roundtrip to Marrakech Morocco. In the end we ended up with 5 of us and had the time of our lives. We are so blessed to have friends like Luke and Steph and Corey. Corey is an RA in another guys dorm and he was a great addition to our group. We stayed in a Riad, shopped in the Souq's, got shaved (a first ever experience for me, and a great cultural "guy" time), bought spices, went to Jemma El Fna Square . . . .and just all around enjoyed the sun and fun!

The Souq's (Market)

I didn't buy the scarf . . . but the guy tried hard


Corey and I bartered for different spices and stuff and ended up having mint tea with these two shopkeepers

Jemma El Fna Square

Mint tea . . .the thing to drink in Marrakech
Sunset over the city
A man with a razor at my throat . . . kind of scary . . . but a lot of fun for $3

We ate at a restaurant above the famous square
