Aside from Marrakesh, I'll also be in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essaouira">Essaouira</a>. This is not a city I knew anything about before the trip.

It's on the ocean. It's old, old, old. And it appears to beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Needless to say, I am thrilled to be visiting--to experience the colors, sounds and flavors of the city.

Mint tea, here I come.
