we will rise

the first madrassa is really pretty. but i thought it was "spelled" madrassa.
the spice buckets look like huge crayons, which is awesome. and i love love love the olives. also the cat. but definitely the olives. as cliche as it is, you know i am also a fan of those pictures at ydfm of buckets of produce and stuff. yay vast quantities of arranged food, i guess.
i am about to have lunch with your bathroommate. i'm sure you'd want me to tell him hi, so i will.
Such beautiful pictures! I'm going to Morocco soon and I heard Ali Ben Youssef Madrasa, Marrakech is a place one must visit in order to have a good idea of old lifestyles. It provides a interesting revelation into the world which is very different from our own. The city Marrakech is framed by red desert and time can’t influence on this city. The very name Marrakech conjures up images of an exotic, distant city, of hot desert winds blowing in from the Sahara, of magic carpets and snake charmers and of spices and perfumes brought in by camel trains. Set within the rose-colored walls of the medina lies a reality that is not that far removed – a labyrinth of winding streets offering you various Morocco property in nearby area. The streets open onto lush green gardens and dark alleyways leading to bustling souks.
