  1. Corey, these are absolutely stunning and make me want to go so much. I even have a friend who just moved there. . .

  2. Gorgeous photos, Corey. You world traveller, life liver, poetess you.

  3. Beautiful Corey. When I saw the first photo I was taken right back to my days in Sigtuna in Sweden in June.
    Then the next photo told me that this was a far more exotic place (for me at least, I guess Sigtuna might be just as exotic for others, lol)
    Marrakesh is on my list of places I want to go, but the next year I have Lindisfarne, Venice and France on my list 🙂

  4. Beautiful pictures, I would love to go to Morocco one day the tiles and prints they produce are just wonderful.

  5. I have just put Morocco on my list of places I want to visit.
