• j'mafna square (j'maa el fnaa) in marakesh - performers and crowds and buying fresh orange juice for 30 cents.
• eating moroccan crepes, sometimes for breakfast.
• majorelle gardens in marakesh
• our marakesh and fez hotels were pretty (pretty hot in the case of Marakesh) and right in the middle of the souk
• some restaurants had terrace seating where you could look over all the crazy narrow streets
• it had a pool which we frequented multi-times a day
• fez had cobblestone roads like a maze
• we saw a cool tile/mosaic factory. they really do chip those little pieces by hand
• in chefchouen we walked around and saw women blue washing the walls
• trek was nice, especially in the shade and downhill, and was a good break from the cities second day of trek was in the shade, downhill, through village-y kind of houses and yards where residents invited us to pick fresh figs nice to arrive in azilane at the guest house, and relax there was cool water to put on our heads
• tangeirs ultra huge supermarket was really interesting
• rural moroccan coast
• park guell in barcelona was lovely
• narbonne in southern france was a nice break for a few days and we saw pretty churches and markets
• paris was cool; we liked a lot of things like the catacombs and the louvre and two walking tours and a cruisey tour thing on the seinne river and notre dame
