You're right, lots of the areas do look like Cache Creek, but we don't have those goats that climb the trees. In Marrakech, we did make a point of having a G&T at La Mamounia hotel, apparently a favorite destination for Winston Churchill for relaxing and painting. According to this week's news, he consumed legendary quantities of champagne - we didn't try to compete there. I did bring back a few small items where purchase prices were negotiated - not a favorite activity, but like you, I discovered that the vendors would rather have a sale than no sale when my upper limit was made clear.Joanne C, Armstrongnoreply@blogger.com
