Arrange to wake up under the magical lights hanging from this amazing ceiling...
Walk barefoot out this door into the sun*shine of a new Moroccan day...
Step lightly between the yellow flowers blooming underfoot, make your way through the old olive grove...
Stop to pet Baby Lilly {{who might have slept with you the night before}}...
Brush past the never~sleeping, hot~pink bougainvillea standing guard...
Take your time and quietly mosey past the tempting pool where birds dip down for a quick drink...
Duck your head ever~so slightly to avoid the baby olives still growing on gracefully swaying branches...
Ease onto the breakfast terrance where the tile feels pleasant on naked feet...
Wait patiently for charming Chantal to set out her yummy delights {{a stellar chef who trained here and other places}}...
Enjoy your breakfast under the watchful eye of the peacock~gourmand ...
Taste jellies and jams made on~site {{ calories removed by Chantal, I was promised }}...
Enjoy everything, have seconds...
The daily activites are posted near the ever~present mint tea brewing stately...
Early~morning visit with the interesting and lovely Leni {{ + her daughter, Fanny, and others, Arianna , Carole, Erika, Tawney and Natalie }}...
Enjoy it all...
waking up to the stenciled ceiling overhead, strolling through the grove, petting the lovey cat, tasting everything on the table because Maryam has Special Plans for the day and you will not want to miss a thing...

Twas wonderful to talk to the woman who can wrangle her camera on a camel! Great photos!
Your ceiling was SO fine! All your comrades look like fun ones! And Lilly has the sweetest nose in all of Africa!
