Our time in Marrakech has been amazing. We’re sad to be leaving, but excited to head into the Atlas Mountains for the next leg of the program!

Sunsets in Medina are beautiful.

Chad’s on rags! This is a practice rug. The Berbers make all types of different rugs, many of which are gender and event specific (pregnancy, weddings, etc). These are gifted at important events and can take up to 6 years to make!

Bats behind the rugs!…These are NOT gifted.

We also get some time to soak in the sun and cool off!
