Magic Carpets in Morocco
I know
very little about Berber carpets. Do you? Well, I know a bit more now
that I have been in a very rural part of Morocco (referred to as the
'Bled') and spent a day with an amazing Berber family, related to our
family friend, Mohammed. Mohammed has been a friend for 7 years and my
sister, Luarena, has been up to his country family before, about 4 years
ago. Then, they had no electricity or running water.
They
got electricity about a year ago and, of course, the first thing they
did was buy a television! The running water is still not there but they
have a lovely well with fresh water. They also cook on open fires and
made us some delicious pancakes served up with honey and butter.
World Wide Wed - A Moroccan Marriage
Most non-Moroccans don't ever get to experience a Moroccan wedding so
it was a real privilege to attend one and see what it's like. To be
fair, this particular Moroccan wedding was not exactly typical because
the bride was European so a lot of her friends and family attended,
making the events slightly different than they might have been
otherwise.
