Nourishing Traditions of Morocco

[Guest guest]

Dear Native Nutrition Members,

http://homepage.mac.com/sandrinehahn/morocco/Menu102.html

Please click on this link above for photographs and other documents

that I could not include in this email to the group!

I would like to invite you to join me in Morocco in April or May, 2006!

There are two options available as conceived of my Dee Rettali, one of

the owners of Sand Drifters - and myself.

Description of Sand Drifters

" We are a travel company specialising in travel to Morocco. Our

accommodation is based on an organic farm where we cook wonderful meals

using only organic locally sourced ingredients. We are a responsible

travel group where we try to give back to the community as much as

possible. We specialise in family and women only travel. Beautiful,

traditionally designed Moroccan farmhouse built using natural organic

materials, ozonated swimming pool, solar panels, gorgeous grounds

planted with olive, orange and peach trees. From scrumptious breakfasts

to Moroccan soirees all meals are beautifully made and presented. All

the vegetables we use come from local organic farms. "

Options

1.) We can stay on an organic farm just outside of Marrakech - my

mother's hometown - at a rate of 60.00 per night for double occupancy

(price is per room). Three organic, local meals would cost an extra

33.00 per day.

From there - independent day trips can be made to many surrounding

areas.

I will likely be staying there for several weeks if not a couple of

months and can have friends joining me for while I am there. " The house

is based 13 kilometers (8 miles) outside Marrakesh - the house is run

by our partner Michel - he is French but completely passionate about

Morocco and its people. "

2.) If we gather a group of five people - we can have a guided 9 day

tour for 1,400.00 each plus a ground fee of 165.00 any time in April or

May given by Dee herself. She will ensure that the meals are made not

only organically but, according to Nourishing Traditional principles

during the tour dates.

If anyone wants a single room there is an extra fee of 165.00 for the

tour. We are responsible for paying for our own flights. I am using

frequent flyer miles.

Description of Dee

" I am Irish and live part of the year in Marrakesh - I am married to a

Moroccan whose family are originally from Marrakesh/Amizmiz. I have 3

children and I speak Arabic as well as it is possible for a European. I

am absoultely passionate about Morocco - there is an Irish saying about

the Irish traveller apparently there is one special country in all of

us mine is certainly Morocco - I have travelled all over the country

and it never ceases to amaze me.

I own Sand Drifters with a business partner and we try to raise money

for eduaction especially for women - we also offer programmes such as

adopt a bike - where if somebody wants to donate a small amount of

money at the end of their trip - we encourage them to adopt a bike and

give it to one of the girls that live in the medina but have no form of

transport to their jobs in the countryside. "

Let me know if you'd like to join me on this unique adventure!
