Marrakech: Ali Ben Youssef Medersa

Ali Ben Youssef Medersa was one of the largest Islamic Colleges in Morocco, now preserved as a historical site. My favorite part of the building was the courtyard that displayed the beautiful carvings in cedar, marble and stucco.

Hello Morocco

I love sitting by the window seat on planes to get shots like these. Here is Marrakech, Morocco.

There are horse drawn carriages, motor-bikes, bicycles and walkers all on the street.

We would see these boxes with numbers spray painted on the side of walls. We later found out from a local that it explains what kind of stores are represented there.
