MARRAKECH - I have traveled broadly. I have been to a lot of places. Yet certainly, the wildest place I experienced is the souk in Marrakech. The open-air Berber market place is really a totally foreign and completely authentic world. Simply no hoards of visitors. No visible Traditional western influence. Only the pure and stunning culture of Morocco. I can explain the labyrinthine soil paths winding back into the bowels of the Grand Medina. I possibly could let you know about pungent spice stalls, intimation jewelry, and also silver lighting fixtures that cast their in an elaborate way patterned shine on colorful rugs woven by historic Berber tribes. I possibly could relay the big surprise and wonder I felt after finding that snake charming is existent, and yes, it is happening beside a fresh-squeezed orange juice stand in the center of the busy market place. But I will not tell my story with words. I will get it done with photographs. Mainly because, on top of the conflicting smells of live animals and silky spices, above the sounds of eager hawking retailers and road music, it is the stunning images of the market place which remains with me to this day.

Note to self: Bring an empty travel suitcase for all the gifts you're sure to take home.
