Marrakech: and a New Year's eve tale

,

We headed out on horseback 


to a destination hidden but nearby

 
where friends -- Canadian, American, Egyptian, Moroccan and Czech -- were gathering


 

 
for a New Year's eve feast

 
 and much drinking of cheap pink wine and cheaper pink champagne. 

 At midnight we made toasts in too many languages to remember.  In short, it was perfect.  

Here's wishing you a 2010 filled with adventure, color, and love. (Because really, the rest is not so important when you think about it.)
