Our main reason for the trip to Morocco, was to come together as a family and attend my grandmother's
80th birthday. We also managed to explore Morocco, and even had a fun day riding
donkeys - yes, the whole family - my grandparents, parents and brother!
We met different people and there were some really beautiful women in this country. There were some interesting buildings and we even found some strange goats!
The Women of Morocco . . .


People in the city tend to be more extremist/fundamentalist when it comes to religion, then those who come from the country areas.
One reason could be that the people living in the cities are mainly Arabic, and those living in the countryside are Berbers.
Berber women are less dressed up than in the cities.
Some of them are extremely beautiful.
Also, I noticed that those in the city tend to be more self-conscious of photos being taken than those in the country.People are naturally a bit shy, but by showing friendliness, it a makes it a lot easier to take good photos.
Hmmm... Do you know that I was actually offered to buy this girl on the right for two camels? I do not know why they wanted to get rid of her. Maybe she was making too much trouble in the village?
Anyway…I refused the offer.

The girls decorate themselves with what is called henna. It is a dye that stains there hands for a long time. They paint different patterns onto their hands and it actually looks very pretty. Much nicer than tattoos - which are permanent!

Goats . . .


We came across a couple of trees full of goats. They were climbing around the tree to reach all the green leaves. Our first though was that someone put them there, but they were too much out of reach for that idea.
