Magical Marrakech
It's getting hot in here!
Ok in a Toronto heat wave (30+) , its hot, its sticky and we all complain... HOWEVER if I had known in Morocco that temperatures reached 50+ on a REGULAR basis I may have reconsidered my travel location (ok maybe not). But this heat is like no other I have ever experienced (and did I mention there is no AC). The best way for me show you what it felt like would be to turn the oven on to 400 degrees, make you stick your head in it, and then put a blow-dryer to the back of your neck… sweating yet? Join the club!

oh la la Oranges
Perhaps one of the most common sites on any street corner, back alley, or souk stairwell is a fresh orange juice stand. This native fruit is freshly squeezed all over the country and for pennies a glass, one can drink fresh OJ morning, noon and night… beat that Tropicana!
My one area of caution…. The freshly squeezed juice is served in a glass cup so you have to drink it on the spot … sorry no take out, so come thirsty and ready to gulp!
