Holy shit, those are beautiful cities. Once my son is out of high school [...he just started first grade so I've got a long way to go], I really want to travel to some of these Mediterranean cities. Especially as a photographer, it seems like there's so much beauty to photograph. If you get a chance, check out the blog http://gastronomad.net. He's a technology blogger but he travels all over the world and eats at these incredible restaurants. He was just in Morocco.
