Morocco

I figured my parents may get a bit bored staying in Spain for the two weeks they were here so I planned a trip to not only a different country but a different continent.  We spent 3 days in Marrakech and what an experience it was.  Marrakech is situated at the base of the Atlas mountains, where sub-Saharan Africa meets Arab North Africa.  I can't really put into words what the city is like and pictures just don't do it justice; it really is a place you must see to believe.  The sounds, the smells, the sights... snake charmers, monkey men, storytellers, snail stalls, orange juice stands, call to prayer, mosques, souks, tombs, gardens... it's sensory overload!  From the incredibly beautiful riad that we stayed in, to the bustle of the night market and the dusty alleyways we navigated through, it was an experience none of us will soon forget.  I'd highly recommend a trip to Morocco to anyone seeking an extraordinary vacation unlike anywhere else.
