Christmas Always Finds Me ... in Morocco


........
I taught in Casablanca, Morocco, for two years.  Because I travel so much, people frequently ask me my favorite destination.  Hands-down, no competition, it is Morocco.  I had such an amazing experience in Morocco with three families -- the Chakirs, the Soufidis, and the Ayouds.  It will always be my favorite counrty.

One Christmas I traveled to Zagora, on the edge of the Sahara Desert.  I rode a camel into the sands and spent a night in the desert.  It was much colder than expected, but there was no chance of snow falling down.
