I'm feeling a little "princessy"...

Really it's as if every place we stay everything we eat everywhere we look we are being taken care of with the highest level of attention.  Our leaders...McKenna, Humberto and Osama are UNBELIEVABLE!!! One of the other folks in our group just said..."hmmm...I'm feeling a little hungry"... And literally 20 seconds later there was mint tea and cookies. As I'm writing this blog I'm sitting a gorgeous riad looking at a marble fountain in a room with crystal chandeliers...ornate tiles...beautiful tapestries...and yep...I'm sipping on mint tea and eating cookies :)

As I said before "what is happening?"...:)

Oh my goodness...our train ride last night was so much fun! We slept 4 to a small cabin "bunk bed" style...it was quite an adventure. We stayed up late listening to stories and jokes being shared in Spanish and we did our best to translate. Even with the language barrier...we all managed to laugh hysterically together. It was an early night for us...midnight. We've started to come accustomed to nights ending around 2am (Spanish time...not so much Moroccan time).

We arrived in Marakech around 9am the next morning.

The traffic is crazy...the buildings have gorgeous terracota color...and there are markets everywhere

Tonight we will meet with new colleagues from the university of Marrakech for dinner.

Til next time...
