May 23 – Jun 7: Morocco
May 23 – 24
| Marrakesh: There’s no place in the world like the Marrakesh night market |
Atlas – When I’m high in the Atlas …
Mountainous beauty, the mysterious color of red . . . Winding mountain road leads me further from my home . . . leading me on . . . leading me on . . . (Traveler – Symphonia album: Morocco – Always Dreaming Of You)
Ouzoud, Morocco: Best swimming pool ever… but just a bit freezing cold… Cave jam… Night hiking… Swimming in the river… it’s freezing but refreshing… I made a new friend… with a wild monkey… I gotta monkey on my back…
May 28: Bin Elouidan… Atlas mountain lake
Playing on my new Moroccan loutar in the Atlas Mountains
I don’t think there could be a more perfect CD to listen to while driving through the Atlas mountains, with its north African fusion it’s a great soundtrack for the scenery . I came to inherent this album because a friend of mine left this world recently and thanks to his excellent taste in music I am now enjoying it

Driving through the Atlas
I spent the last 3 days in the Berber village of El Had 3 hours from the nearest town on one lane windy mountain roads… Went to the market day in downtown village of El Had… I was playing my violin on the balcony of the Riad when I noticed some kids dancing. When I got done they clapped and gave me the thumbs up.
A walk through the market In the remote Berber village of El Had
Rush hour in the village
I’m jumping… If I flap my arms fast enough will I fly?
Jun 2: Winding mountain road… cows of Ait Bouguemez… Atlas, Morocco
Huge country… it has so many different landscapes
Doing laundry in the river is way more fun than using a machine… and almost always seems to end with a water fight. Atlas mountains Morocco
I think I came upon 2 cars driving for 3 hours, but it is a bit stressful when they come around the corner fast…
