Marrakech ,first step



j'ai retrouve mes amis de longue date et deux nouvelles femmes qui m'ont accompagnée tout le sejour, la plupart du temps nous sommes restées a Marrakech avec quelques excusions que conduisait mon ami Benasser; voir son site . nous sommes aller a Essaouira ou nous avons mangé sur le vieux port les poissons tout juste arrivés, grilles au feu de bois. Une journée pleine de soleil de couleur et de parfum; le retour vers Marrakech plutot special! la route encombree de mules de voitures de camions de vélos sans lumières de motocyclettes pas mieux emanchées sans oublier les piétons qui ressemblent a des fourmis en djellaba, épique!!!!! Bravo Benasser tu es champion...

NOW FOR MY FRIENDS IN U.S


with my new friends Mary and Nola we decided to stay most of the time in town , endless of discovery in those small alleys of the medina.
Nola and I went to the hammam near by our riad, it was my first time ....I did not know what to expect but wanted to try!
GREAT! you feel 10 years younger and feel each muscle of your body! first undressed, then the steam room where steam water soap (special one) make your skin soft , last about 30 minutes after that you lay on a bed and somebody scrub, scub your skin in fact peeled your old skin of your flesh...and then after a shower , heaven! come the massage 45 minutes of the best of the best with Argan oil , what a treat !!!! Relaxing time came after with a nice cup of minte tea.
