Coffee with a Friend

What a treat it is to be invited over for coffee! My good friend, Mary, had this inviting little spread set up for us on her kitchen table. She brewed coffee using her French press and we chatted away for several hours since we hadn't seen each other in a long while. She recently returned from a girls' trip to Morocco --- a very exotic and interesting destination --starting in Casablanca and ending in Marrakech.

Lots of spices and couscous and Tagines ---she says that she will write about it for us on the blog. Food is such an important component of the travel experience, don't you think?

As I left, she gave me a welcome dose of Moroccan Bergamot oil on my temples --- it is supposed to be good for stress.
