Tenth Wedding Anniversary in Marrakech

27-31 May 2005

Our anniversary was at half term so the kids went off to
their grandparents and we escaped for four days in Marrakech,
Morocco. We stayed in an exquisitely restored Riad - a boutique
hotel - in the heart of the old town named Dar Les Cigognes,
or "House of Storks". Not that we want any more storks visiting us....
It's a beautiful and atmospheric city with a great mixture of Arab and French culture.
