I can’t start with my Moroccan Morning without acknowledging what I had to go through to get here! I traveled for 2 entire days to get to where I am now. 36 hours, 4 plane rides (with delays,) a few hours napping under the Eiffel Tower, and an hour drive later I find myself high, high up in the Atlas mountains at the Kasbah Tamadot.

Lets start with the drive to the Kasbah Tamadot. The drive was slow. I clearly hadn’t left my American habits at home because I wanted to tell the driver to put the pedal to the metal. However, as soon as we got to the mountains I didn’t think it was possible to go slow enough. I felt like I was being taken to Hogwarts, School or Witchcraft and Wizardry, or something similar. I was on a long and very windy, road that I would consider to be one lane. I could barely see anything but was well aware that there was a very steep cliff with no railing just a few feet from my car. At a distance I could see some light,which I assumed was the hotel but it looked like it was hanging off the tallest cliff.  What I loved so much about the drive was being able to see the endless snowcapped mountains glowing from the moonlight. I arrived at this very humble but stunning resort and just knew that come morning, I was going to be blown away. (more…)
