Would You Eat A Camel Burger for Lunch in Morocco? (WW *Linky)

Can you guess what I had for lunch yesterday? The title gave it away, didn’t it. I ate a camel burger! So did the family. Well, not all of us. Traveling with a teen vegetarian means more camel meat for the rest of us – just kidding, she had a salad. Camel Burger So, the questions for today: Would you eat a camel burger if you were in Morocco? Would you eat the salad on the plate, if you were in Morocco? Are we in need of Immodium (diarrhea tablets) today from the camel burger or the salad? If You [Read More]

Nov 082012

Today we did some cooking with a Berber family. It amazes me how hard the “simple life” really is. We are staying in a most wonderful guest house in Tisselday, a small town between Ouarzaruate where they make most of the movies filmed in Morocco and Marrakesh.

Eventually we turned West away from the coast heading to Taroudant. We knew we [Read More]

Amazing Istanbul - Photos And A Funny Story About Guides and Carpet Shopping

We had a long port stop scheduled for amazing Istanbul, Turkey so we thought we could tackle it without a guide. We knew the city highlights, and even had downloaded a self guided city tour. The only free city tour I could find was in the evening and the timing just wasn’t going to work out for us. We headed off the ship, tour in hand, ready to face what we were told was amazing Istanbul . . . (and it did not disappoint) We didn’t get very far. When we saw the first taxi, stand we decided it was [Read More]
