Bienvenue Eberhards!!


Image

My sister, Norma, and her husband Theron dropped off in Morocco for awhile on their way home from the Holy Land.  Before they had time to question us, we whisked them off on our neighborhood tour.  First stop?  Henna hands!

For a professional lab tech, she looks a little squeemish!

Image

One of our partners treated us to a night in a Berber restaurant complete with very loud festive music.  Disappointed that belly dancers weren't part of the deal.

Image

So pleased to introduce our guests to Mo and Hmoudou--two of our faves.

Image

We took the train to Marrakech.  This adorable child receives therapy at Mo's clinic.  Her kind therapist is one of several we are growing fond of.

Abdul's "rug show" included flames this time!  Always a true Moroccan experience when you show up at Gallerie Marzouk!

Market wares--Norma passed these up, but she did buy an unusual amount of wooden camels!  

Image

We took a day trip into the Ourika Valley.

This stores water, I believe.  This just in!!  It's a butter churn!  Even cooler.

When we stopped for lunch I zoomed in on a family enjoying the river.

Image

So attentive and gentle.  

Image

I never tire of Moroccan families.

Lunch band!

And yes, lunch was IN the river!
