Ourika Valley is a great day trip to get away from the heat and crowded Marrakech, a very cool and peaceful way to relax during hot weather. I enjoyed visiting Marjorelle Gardens, another peaceful place and in the midst of Marrakech, loved to hear the birds singing as we neared Marjorelle, many photo opportunities. Mount Toubkal is another fun daytrip, not that much climbing if you go to the small village and walk up the paths, there is a tiny little restaurant near the top to have tea or take refuge during the daily afternoon rainstorm. There are other small restaurants at the little village, a great way to have a meal. The rose gardens around the mosque near Djma El Fina are beautiful to relax and take a break. Agadir has a beautiful and clean beach, but not the same architecture as elsewhere in Morocco, since it was rebuilt after the earthquake in 1960. The Mediterranean coast has beautiful scenery as does the very green Rif Mountains while you are traveling to get there. We visited a small trade town on the Mediterranean (near one of the Spanish cities), it was a surprise as we walked out the back door and there was the Mediterranean with only a street between the building and the sea.Travel Guidehttp://www.visitusa.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-75775863192469572712009-06-01T16:13:50.380-04:002009-06-01T16:13:50.380-04:00i love bright painted doors! amsterdam has some great ones...eva ravensteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05290870270485262711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-48262384788045408782009-05-31T15:43:26.275-04:002009-05-31T15:43:26.275-04:00I do love the blue doors! However, I must admit I found myself studying the surroundings. The crumbling bits and pieces of stone work and chinking, the bas relief and tilework on the 1st photo -- these things also caught my attention. Must be the way the photographer captured them!Solo Road Triphttp://www.soloroadtrip.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-3742550658232297722009-05-30T11:09:44.692-04:002009-05-30T11:09:44.692-04:00Love the blue doors. Reminds me of the famous doors of Dublin.<br /><br />http://imagecache.allposters.com/images/pic/DOR/IRE4~Doors-of-Dublin-Posters.jpg<br /><br />But the reason the Irish painted all their doors different colors was so that the men, who spent the night at the pub, wouldn't wind up stumbling home and walking into the wrong house.<br /><br />p.s. loved the cat by the blue door in your post. =)Andrewhttp://thebrooklynnomad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066081788000758170.post-10624236604510117822009-05-29T17:59:53.075-04:002009-05-29T17:59:53.075-04:00Love all the blue doors, Jen!

I find it really interesting that areas could pick a staple colour and always have that displayed in accents. Maybe they have a paint shop that only sells blue paint! <br /><br />Beautiful photography.
