We arrived in Morocco this afternoon. We&#8217;re staying at <a href=\"http:\/\/dareliane.com\/\">Riad Dar Eliane<\/a>. A riad is a guesthouse with rooms that surround a courtyard that opens to the sky. \u00a0Our riad is located in medina of Marrakech &#8211; the ancient walled city.<\/p>\n<p>I arranged for transportation to deliver us to the riad. A driver who only spoke Arabic and French met us outside the customs hall and dropped us off just inside the city walls. A man with a hand cart took our bags and navigated narrow cobblestone streets and\u00a0children kicking soccer balls. We followed him past vegetable vendors and donkeys pulling carts to a dead end. It was looking pretty sketchy for a minute until the housekeeper opened the door to the riad. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet inside.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_652\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
