We’re back on track with the blogs.  This is Day 13 and it actually is Day 13 — Thursday, October 11 — and we spent the whole day at the beautiful Les Jardins de Skoura.

The weather was idyllic and our painters took the opportunity to create some masterpieces in the gardens and from the roof terraces of this gem of a riad.

While a few of our group took a guided four-hour walking tour of Skoura, others swam in the beautiful pool and painted pomegranate trees.

A truly beautiful place.  I could stay here for  week — just for the peace and tranquillity of the architecture, the gardens, the flowers, the pomegranate trees, the donkeys in their pens, the gentle, smiling peope, the extremely calming call to prayer echoing though the palmerie.

It’s Morocco.  A seductive country.

Can’t end tonight’s post without one more desert and camel shot.

And now we are up to date.  On to Kasbah Ellouze tomorrow.
