Travel bit. continued....

And we're back!  Just returned from a whirlwind trip to Paris and Morocco.  Spent the first few days frolickin' about Paris, taking it all in.  Despite the rain and cold...we were thrilled to be in The City of Lights:)  After enjoying our last café au lait we headed straight to the airport to catch our flight to Casablanca!  The next 12 days would be spent travelling to  Essaouira (fishing port), Marrakech, Fez (the old city) and taking a camel trek through the Sahara desert (Zagora/Ouzazarte)....obvi.  Thumbs up to the stylish riads, Berber tour guides (below), desert sunrises, traditional tajines, circus-like souks and handmade local crafts!
