Saturday, Sept 28th, Marrakech, Morocco

Greetings!

Morocco is so much more than most have learned about.  The view of a desert country with some famous cities (Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangiers) so ignores the range of living environments created by residents over the past millenniums, and the vast integration of cultures into every one of them.

Like the 16 million tourists who are expected to come here in 2019, Morocco's population consists of explorers.  Whether chasing new dreams or escaping nightmares, those who choose this place have found their garden, planted their seeds, and toiled to bring up their families.

As I sit in our riad listening to the afternoon call to prayer from a mosque next door, I am amazed at how different my current understanding of this place is from a month ago.  It's culture is full of lessons for the rest of the world.  It's contributions to this part of the world cannot probably be easily counted.  And the visual orchestra presents a greater symphony than one can imagine without spending time here.
