Okay. So Morocco it is. We’re going.
Only now? We’re going to Marrakesh. Yes, we’ve decided on yet another “adventurous” holiday instead of a “relaxing” holiday. But Marra-fucking-kesh!
Secretly? I’ve been wanting to go there since I saw the movie “Hideous Kinky” a few years ago. I want to shop in the souks and go to the famous DJEEMA EL-FNA to see the snake charmers, the belly dancers, and maybe buy a Berber rug.
I want to ride in on a Caleche and wear a smata.
It just seems too exotic to pass up. And I hear the people are warm and welcoming. Plus? One no longer needs a guide to go into the souks to shop. The government cracked down a few years ago, making it illegal to harass tourists.
When we really thought about it, we decided we wanted to go somewhere unforgettable again.
Seriously. We can hop a flight to a balmy location from anywhere almost anytime. Heck, I used to live on the coast.
So Marrakesh it is. I’m booking the trip tomorrow morning.
Now? To learn some conversational Arabic.
