With this travel blog I’d like to introduce you to Morocco, a fascinating country we made our home for twelve days in May 2015. We flew into Casablanca on Moroccan Air, traveled to Rabat, Meknes, Fes, Merzouga, Ouarzazate, Marrakech and finally to Essaouira on a private tour with Sun Trails.
Diabetics need to be prepared and careful, but this small amount of effort should not dissuade you from visiting this out-of-this-world location.

Meet our guide Mohamed Krounbi, the historian at Salé, a small community near Rabat, on the northwest coast of Morocco. He was our guide for several hours, taking us from the Grand Mosque to riad, to medersa, to city walls, to the Bab (gates), and out to the fort by the sea.
The Bab Mrisa Our guide Mohamed Krounbi led us from the quiet of medersa to the Bab Mrisa. We stood within the medina and looked at what appeared to be an ordinary gate. In fact, we took no picture of it. But this was not just any gate, as we
We followed our guide Hamid through the narrow alleys of the historic medina in Fes, Morocco. The medina dates back to the 9th century, and flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries. My camera swiveled with its own curiosity among the amazing mosaic of tiny shops, the Ben Inania Medersa, the tall

I am a type 1 diabetic, and have been for fifty-three years. From Antarctica to Svalbard, Australia to Africa, I’ve visited every continent. With my husband Greg, I have been on safari to Africa, wandered among the blue boobies in the Galapagos, slogged through jungle mud in Laos, and he has even chased an ocelot in Costa Rica (with his camera!) Our travel has taken careful planning, and constant attention to what is most important. I want to give you the inspiration and travel tips to enable you also to look beyond your own personal challenges, to not hide behind those words “I could never” and to see the world. |
