Very interesting questions. I am going to have to think about what my answers would be.
Sorry to hear that you are under the weather again. Same with me. I have had a terrible head cold and my head feels like it weighs 100 lbs.
Morocco sounds fabulous. My husband has family from Morocco and the food is just wonderful.
I feel a bit better today. Managed to stay out of bed for a few more hours.
Morocco was fabulous, and it must have made a real impression on me for me to remember so much of it even as a child. Hope that you will be feeling better soon.
Great list Lita,
You have been to Morocco? I would dearly love to go there one day. I have a fascination with the people, culture, architecture and those fabulous mosaics!

We went when I was just a small girl, but I still remember all of the smells and colors. The market was this collection of women in birkas and children running around barefoot everywhere. I remember going to a Moroccan woman’s house for tea and having some tea cakes. The tea was very strong and smelled wonderful, like cloves, I believe. I remember going to a rainforest and crossing a hanging bridge. My mother wouldn’t cross it because she is terrified of heights. It was hung over this running stream, and there were incredible green leaves on either side. The smells of the cooking were amazing, and the tastes of the fruits were delicious as they ran down my chin. Even though I was young, it is a picture that is still quite vivid in my mind.
