Visits
- 2025-02-18: We arrived late in the day in Marrakesh. It is amazing how much the crowd has changed since I was there in 1997. From the rooftop at our hotel, we got some views of random city birds.
- 2025-02-19: The next stop in Marrakesh was the airport where we were picking up the car and meeting the guide. The car rental counter was overwhelmed, and we ended up waiting an hour for the car.
