Welcome to Morocco
It had been three and a half years since I last saw my father
he has been writing his memoirs
with Sandra’s help
She keeps him fit
eating healthy food
cooked by Salwa
We venture out
the medina is being repaired
refurbished
though much remains the same
simple
elegant
practical
I can’t resist a pair of new babouches
and mint tea with my old friend Nadia
her home
in the Palmeraie
her brother Sadek owns a nursery
with palm trees ready to go
and many other tropical plants
Some are less fortunate
though happy
in simple quarters
far from the splendor of pashas
Simple beauty is there for all
with the Atlas in the distance
It has been a treat to spend this time together
in a land we fell in love with many years ago
