Actually that trip had taken place in March 2015, I can see why my wording would lead you to believe it was happening now, I just wanted to let the readers feel a sense of being there in the moment with me.

Even being there in March it was really hot, I kept my jeans on to be respectful since it is a Muslim country and the women there dress very conservatively. Morocco is probably the most "liberal" country in regards to tourists and not caring how much skin they show but I wanted to be respectful, even though I would've loved to wear some shorts!

I'll be posting more stories on this trip in the future but since you asked, I stayed a few nights with a family in Ouarzazate Morocco and the mother made some amazing dinners in a tagine. Her couscous and chicken was incredible... my mouth is watering now just thinking about it. She also made breakfast every morning that consisted of a mild tasting porridge and thin pancakes served with butter and jam. So I'm very happy that I got to experience real home cooking there. Otherwise while I was in Marrakesh I would eat at the small restaurants and I stuck with the rotisserie chicken since I knew it was kept hot the whole time. I was only a little paranoid of food sickness but everything tasted good. They season the food very similarly to the Mediterranean style so I was loving it.
