…what Linda and Su said..bro’ is it possible you missed your calling? Passion brings out your best-send this to Travel & Leisure…as beautiful a travel piece as I’ve ever read. Bravo. This just makes me want to move my planned trip to Morocco to the top of the list. Thanks amigo.

What a poetic piece on the mystery that is Morocco. The 6/8 song the band is playing has a cool "clave," if you use 3 as the pulse, it would be two eighths- sixteenth rest, eighth, sixteenth rest-two eighths. Then the stringed instrument joins in with the clave ...very cool.

The photo of what appears to be a bowl of couscous is absolutely beautiful. Few cooks or chefs in the US know couscous as something other than another carb in a bag or box. Nor what a couscousier is and how to use it to prepare such a wonderful and beautiful meal as that in your photo. I will take it over 12 courses of tweezer food composed of micro something’s and molecularly manipulated whatever any day. And feel greater joy and giving in making it.

Bret, your description reads like a "foretaste of heaven," a cliche' I once heard in high school as an effort to speak of something blissful. I will return to your Marrakesh or Morocco some day, and meantime forward it to a very dear friend.
