Last day- Great Group and Kesher Tours did a great job!!


Cindy Kline, our tour guide





Cinnamon and coriander fill the air as you walk through bazaars, Bright textiles catch your eye as you walk through the streets. Centuries of living mere miles from Europe and the Iberian Peninsula impressed upon the indigenous Berber people of northern Africa the imprint of a long parade of invaders, settlers and colonists. The result is today's Morocco, a modern nation where the blend of Berber, Jewish, Arbaic and European heritage infuses every souk, square, medina and oasis!!

We were a group of 17 people who got along great and enjoyed our company, our guide and the trip!! Led by Cindy Kline, who has been to Morocco numerous times, we learned and saw a lot!!

This was a kosher tour was organized by Kesher Tours.

PLEASE NOTE: Morocco is the first Arab country I have visited. Here is the preamble to their constitution:

Jews have been part of their country before Muslims and the King recognizes them as full citizens
I loved the tiles and mosaics everywhere!! Here are tile squares I've created so far:

Moroccan Squares 1
Moroccan Squares 2
Thinking about what art I want to create based on this trip. Stay tuned!!
