Heritage Tour to Morocco

[Guest guest]

Dear Fellow Native Nutrition Enthusiasts,

 

I have decided to go to Morocco!  My mother was born and raised in Marrakec=

h with 10

siblings and it has long been my heart's desire to visit my ancestral homel=

and. My

grandfather sold dried fruits and nuts in the outdoor market. My grandmoth=

er cooked for

her large clan in the same nourishing tradition that generations before her=

did. No

packaged foods or cans!

 

I have found a 10 day Jewish Heritage Tour that I feel very good about. I h=

ave both spoken

and corresponded with the owner of the company who has an office in the Eas=

t Coast as

well as Marrakech. It is a private tour and can be customized - in terms of=

the exact

itinerary and price. It will include many major cities and sites with a spe=

cial focus on

Jewish heritage in some of them. There are special rates for 4 people or mo=

re. I need at

least one travel partner!

 

I have reserved myself for a trip that will start on Thursday, September 30=

departing in San

Francisco and bring me to Dulles Airport (Washington D.C.) the night before=

the 3 day

Weston A. Price conference starts.  From there I will depart on October 4 t=

o furt and

arrive in Casablanca on October 4 at 11:45P. I am tentatively scheduled to =

return to San

Francisco on October 16 - I can come back earlier but, I thought I would ex=

tend the trip by

a day or two to possibly visit family there.  I have two weeks to ticket (b=

y July 29).

 

Please take a look at the itinerary and let me know if you'd like to join m=

e or know of

anyone who might!

 

I would welcome a fellow Weston A. Price member as a travel partner!

Hello Sandrine,

 

I would highly recommend and X'otic Destinations.  Everyone involved w=

ith our trip

from our driver to our guides were cordial and very knowledgeable.  an=

d I

corresponded via email and he answered all of our questions.  took car=

e of airline

tickets and schedules in a prompt fashion.  We also chatted on the phone a =

few times. 

was great and our driver Jalil and was fantastic.

 

Morocco is a wonderful country.  It's landscape is as varied as it's people=

..  It is like walking

back in time while in the present looking towards the future all at the sam=

e time.  The

Mosque of Mohammed V is one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen, i=

t rivals Notre

Dame or may even surpass it.  The camping trek to the Sahara was surreal an=

d not to be

missed.  The accommodations were rustic but we enjoyed singing, dancing, pl=

aying the

drums  by the light of the moon and stars. The Atlas mountains the Gorge, F=

es, The 1000

Casbah's, Marrakesh and Essoria on the Atlantic coast was fantastic.  If yo=

u like food,

Moroccan wine and world music than

this is the place. 

 

Many of the people we spoke to were well educated and spoke several languag=

es. I can not

stress just how warm and hospitable they all were.  We made many friends. I=

am sure that

you will have a wonderful time if you remember that Morocco is not the U.S.=

and that we

are guests in their country.  This trip will be and adventure.  can he=

lp you plan your

dream trip.  All you have to do is let him know what you needs

are.

 

Sandrine, I hope that you make your dream come true.  I know that we did an=

d we are

richer for it.  Purchase a copy of the Lonely Planet Morocco, it is a wealt=

h of information. If

you would like any other information or have questions, please don't hesita=

te to write.

 

My best,

 

Martha
