i couldn't get over how wonderful moroccan faces were. old faces with a network of lines, all that had a story to tell--leathery and worn (in a good way). the children had beautiful, smooth, mocha skin and starbright smiles. the melhefa's women wore were so gorgeous and mysterious, flowing and ebbing on their curves as they walked. women there have "camel eyes"--these big, bright, sexy brown eyes. i had the most fun doing one of my favorite activities, people-watching.

i tried not to take too many pictures of women, or at least not without their permission, as they prefer not to be photographed--though some don't mind.
