Thursday, Sept 26th, Marrakech, Morocco

 

Greetings!

Traveling is a learning experience full of people and places.  Today was a great example of both.

We drove most of the day from Ouarzazate to Marrakech.  The Atlas mountains, resulting from continental collisions between the Eastern coast of America and North Africa around 475 million years ago (and again more recently when Africa collided with Europe), displayed spectacular twists and layering in the rocks as we climbed over mountain passes.

Arriving in Marrakech, we settled into our riad (hotel), and Zak took us for a walk through the nearby city square.

But topping off the day was an evening with Zak's large extended family in his mother's home.  We couldn't have had a more perfect end to the day and welcoming.
