The next morning we stepped out the door of our riad and started our walk to the souke and realized immediately we were in a completely different world.

My head was spinning, and my camera was clicking, trying to absorb all of the exotic sights, sounds, smells, crowds and languages that were whizzing by us. 

For some reason I thought I was going to find a more westernized version of the Marrakech I’ve always imagined, but this was very real and delightfully very foreign to me. 

It’s been so amazing reviewing and editing all of my photos from this trip, a wonderful way to relive our stay in this enchanting city and to figure out how I can best share this story with you.

Today I thought I’d focus on the back drop, the doors and walls that surrounded us as we explored The Médina…

they were deeply historical,

complicated,

contrasting,

complex,

beautiful,

patinated,

elegant,

hand crafted,

colorful,

exotic,

rustic,

and enlightening.

Thanks for coming on this journey with me, much more to come.
