Musings of an Uneasy Writer: On Napkin Therapy
http://megamorocco.blogspot.com/2010/11/on-napkin-therapy.html
Musings of an Uneasy Writer. Ten Thousand Words - عشرة الاف كلمة. Saturday, November 20, 2010. It’s been a long day. I’m tired and grumpy. Around 10pm I get out of a taxi in Batha. And hesitate for a minute. Do I go home, go to straight to bed, and hope that tomorrow will be a bit more encouraging? Or do I go elsewhere in search of a little reminder of why I love living here? Theme song starts playing in my head:. Making your way in the world today takes everything you got. Sometimes you want to go.

A Year In Fez: Holidays in Europe
http://ayearinfez.blogspot.com/2011/01/holidays-in-europe.html

A Year In Fez: An Almohad legacy
http://ayearinfez.blogspot.com/2011/01/almohad-legacy.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. Detail of a pattern on a minaret. This abstract floral motif I have noticed repeatedly throughout the Fez Medina in varying forms and materials. The diamond-shaped meshing became a classic in the Al-Andalus region of Morocco and Southern Spain during the Almohad Dynasty around the 13the century. The most famous examples of its usage are the three 'sister' mosques, the Koutoubia. In Marrakesh, the Giralda. In Sevilla, and the Tour Hassan. Minaret in the Andalusian quarter of Fez.

Saturday, May 21, 2011. Long rectangular scarf wrapped around the head three times with a 'flower' embellishment on the side. Style to wear with earrings.

One of my scarves with fringe. One long rectangular scarf of 2 colors faded into one another. Two scarves wrapped around each other. Beautiful scarves - and model! The vi...
