SO much more to Morocco than Marrakech. So much more!

Thanks about the pic.

Yes, housesitting is wonderful! You get to save up money, live around locals and get to be part of a community, and often there are animals so you can get your pet fix. 🙂

I haven’t been to Morocco yet, but have heard quite a bit about Marrakech. Your post tells me that there is much more to Morocco than Marrakech. Loved the first picture of the blue door.

Also, find it interesting that you are actually house-sitting for 2 months. great way to pay your bills.

In reply to Shelly.

Berber people are definitely wonderful, genuine people. I love so many parts of their culture.

I already loved couscous and lentils, so that’s no problem. Moroccan food has always been one that I enjoyed. And camel is now one of my favorites.

It is most definitely unique! I’m looking forward to getting to explore even more after our housesit is done.

I love your post about Morroco! I really do hope that you get to learn about and spend some time with Berber people – some of the most loving and genuine people on the planet! I would know, as I travel to Algeria to spend time with Berber family every two years. Hope you learn to love couscous, lentils, and veggies too, not just the mint tea! Enjoy your time in this lovely part of the world; it is truly unique.

In reply to Agness. It is truly amazing. Everyone should visit this country at least once in their life.

In reply to Rhonda. In the south, they serve it unsweetened and give you sugar so you can add it yourself. Actually, one place in Essaouira did that, too. It really helps. When I make it at home, of course, I control it pretty easily. We go to NZ at the end of March or so. I think we'll be going to Asia first, so it will be less of a haul.

In reply to santafetraveler. As far as I'm concerned, it's a must-visit country.

Had to check in to see what Morocco is like. Now I’m hooked and will have to read the entire series.

I also loved Morocco. We spent the last month there. It was amazing. My I suggest you watch how much of that wonderful tea you drink – there is a lot of sugar in each little cup. The calories piled on in Morocco and even with the tummy troubles we had, we all gained a bit of weight. Of course it could have been the delicious food. When are you headed to New Zealand – it’s a long flight from Casablanca, I know.

I’m so glad you guys are finally in Marocco. I’ve read your last post and it scared me a little bit. Enjoy this place, I’ve never been there, but judging by what you have written it’s an amazing place 🙂
