More Memories of Morocco
by
Muguette Goufrani
 Thierry
Mareschal, my nephew from Paris, France, spent
several exciting weeks in Morocco earlier this
year. While there, Thierry captured many images
which provide a glimpse of the country, and its
variety. Space being limited, we've selected only a
few. While there he spent some time at my mother 's
home in Essouaira, a seaside retreat on the
Atlantic Coast, which features a traditional
Moorish castle. Captions and enlarged versions of
some photos to be added later. Other features on
Morocco include a story on one of my father's
popular escorted tours to visit a
traditional
"Wedding Fair"
at Hadiddou Imilchil, a Berber village in southern
Morocco.
Letter
from a reader
- Dear
Muguette,
 Since
I read your article about
Morocco,
we took a group of African American Female
educators there last year and had a wonderful
time. Hope to take a group again next year.
Briefly, the experience was wonderful. We spent
most of our time in Agadir with a one night
excursion to Marrakech. We stayed at Club Valtur
and the resort was great, albeit very Italian. I
didn't learn much about the people or culture of
Morocco, hence the need for a second trip.
However, I did make a few friends
(smile).
Morocco is a
fascinating if you love sensory experiences or
sensory overload!! The experience started as soon
as we boarded the Royal Air Maroc flight, and
continued for the entire trip. I'll never forget
the sights, smells and sounds of the souk at
Marrakech!!! Shopping was great as well. As I said,
I prefer to get a little more into the country
itself, but it was a great 'spa experience'. The
trip was billed as "Sister Scholars at the Spa"!!!
Actually, Morocco was a great value I would go
again for that reason alone. I started writing an
article several months ago and would be happy to
share my thoughts with you further.
