Close streets, a plethora of artisan wares, this city always seemed to be moving.
In stark contrast to Marrakesh was the second city I visited during spring break, Essaouira. This ocean side city had wide streets and a laid back attitude that was greatly enjoyed. A break in all the travel and study of my study abroad semester.
After returning to AUI and spending another week at school, I once again left the confines of the campus and exchanged the lush green mountains of the Middle Atlas for the rolling dunes of the Sahara.
That place is a dream, everything and beyond what I had hoped for.
