"Live the Cover!" Contest: Maldives

Great Travel Moment

This lovely designer garden is set in the middle of Marakesh. I had been walking for hours and was happy to sit and bask in the vibrant hues of blue that covered the entire grounds. This spry grandmotherly Japanese woman came over and immediately started conversing with me. Although we didn't speak each other's language, we were able to express ourselves and share with body language, eye contact and the excitement of our voices. Words were unimportant in sharing this special moment. Just having someone care and be present was perfect.
