My friend Gina just got back on Saturday from Marrakesh, Morocco where she taught Pilates for a week long retreat. She said it was very hot there but she absolutely loved it! She shared all of her photos with me and now I would love to visit too. There are lots of handcrafts and vibrant colors... I tried to pick out a few photos to show you but it was hard to decide!

She took lots of photos of pharmacies for me! She said everything in them was natural and herbal based. I would have loved it!

These are just some of the photos! I feel like I've been there. It seems I live vicariously through many of my friends! ;)

It looks amazing. Many of my friends have been....perhaps I should go. I went to Morocco years ago when I graduated from university but we were further north near Tangiers. I remember it being so different to anywhere I had been before.
Beautiful colors! Beautiful photos!
