Morocco - remember the Bing Crosby song? -
We're off on the road to Morocco
This taxi is tough on the spine (hit me with a band-aid, Dad)
Your photos remind me of The Alhambra Palace And Fortress In Granada, Spain--I kid you not--maybe your new home isn't quite THAT spacious, but it's that beautiful, for sure.
Ok, more of the Crosby-Hope lyrics:
The men eat fire, sleep on nails and saw their wives in half
It seems to me there should be easier ways to get a laugh
We certainly do get around
Like Webster's Dictionary we're Morocco bound
We could be arrested is the parting line.
I've loved that song for many decades.
And I love it that you get to BE HERE in such an exotic, warm, and wonderful land!
Gotta admit--I'd never even heard of that song until now.
Saw their wives in half, though? YIKES. I hope that's not a custom I haven't heard about. 😳
LOL! That's Hollywood for ya.... dredge any crazy stereotype you can.
