For our Christmas vacation, Jessica and I decided to take a bit of a trip. And by "bit of a trip" I mean "Jessica planned a crazy adventure that somehow managed to work and was pretty dang fun." We flew from Madrid to Marrakech, on to Copenhagen, to Prague, over to Naples, with a final quick jaunt down to Rome.
My legs were ready to fall off after we returned and I slept for about two days straight, but I think it was worth it.
We took a lot of pictures, so I'm going to break this up into a couple different posts. I hope you're ready for VACATION PICTURE OVERLOAD!

 |
| My favorite meal of the trip came from these jars |
 |
| Whole lambs are put down in this pit and cooked all day long. All I could think about is how terrifying it would be to fall in |
 |
| Djemaa el-Fna at night. It became a completely different place at about 5 pm |
 |
| Jardin Majorelle |
 |
| Some wonderful street meat. See that little metal door with the star on it? That's the only way in or out of this food stall, which is about the size of a bathroom. Not a lot of room. In fact, that shinny thing on top of the glass box where they cooked the meat. Just some coals in a metal box. There were little cozy places like this all over. |
 |
| The lobby of the riad that we stayed at |
 |
| Get out of here with those snakes! |
 |
| Wonderful ground fish sandwiches |

I thought that "lamb hole" was a toilet. Half way through the description I was very confused.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, "lamb hole."
ReplyDeleteAlthough I did use a toilet that looked very much like that. I had to pay some crazy looking dude to use it, too :\
