Returning to Marrakech


On our way back to Marrakech, we saw Berber villages tucked in every hillside nook. The glorious red earth that is the color of Marrakech.The green fields in Spring is so refreshing. I know it gets very hot in summer but already Marrakech is at least 10 degrees warmer than Casablanca or Rabat or Fes or any place in Northern Morroco. The next day we would go to Ouarzazate which is the staging town for the Sahara desert and it would be hot. Morroco runs from north to south and each area is very different, and there is the ocean on one side, the high Atlas and the Sahara desert on the other. It is an amazing place with so many incredible contrasts.
