Yes, yes we brought the kids with us (though sometimes I question that wisdom), but with the kids enrolled in school full time before we had even been here a week (yeah we had those kids in school and out of our hair right quick!) Ali and I have been having a bit of time to ourselves.
And we've taken advantage!
First, we confiscated the moped from his nephew (insert evil laugh here!) and we hit the streets. It reminded me of the first time we came to Morocco, before babies and madness and we were completely carefree. Needless to say school has allowed a nice return to that feeling, at least until we have to pick them up.
So how have we been spending our time?
Ali gave me a driving tour of several of Marrakesh's hotels, many of them four- and five-star. We also toured Jardin Majorelle, a famous garden here noted for its vibrant blue hues of the home and surrounding grounds. We also hiked up a rock mountain smack dab in the middle of the city and were treated to gorgeous panaromic views of this ancient medina!!!! It was amazing and thanks to my hubby for suggesting it. We've also taken several walks together just checking out local neighborhoods and all the amzing architecture here. Even though all the buildings in Marrakesh must me red or a shade of red, there is an great amount of variety when it comes to the style of homes, many of them using colored glass tiles or intricate mosaics to complement doorways, windows and balconies. All in all, beautiful!
So this trip, unlike the last one when our babies were 2 and 2 months and we were largely homebound, Ali and I have had much more time to explore for my (albeit temporary) home and, most importantly, to be alone.
