Dream Trip 2008: May

Great Travel Moment

I spent last summer as a volunteer in Morocco, and had finally convinced myself to take a weekend trip to Marrakesh. I was wandering around the medina, amazed at all the beautiful wares and at the same time wondering how I would ever figure it all out, when I stumbled upon this collection of tajines. There, in the center, was a stray cat enjoying the sunny day. As soon as I saw him, it hit me that I need to calm down and just relax. This moment captured perfectly what Morocco is all about: taking the time to enjoy yourself (while enjoying some amazing food).
