The Riad Idra and Marrakech

Kareen was the supreme hostess.  She asked a few questions to get to know me, then gave me a card which had common Arabic phrases with their translation on it, a map of the area, and a list and location of nearby restaurants.  She took me on a tour of her incredibly lovely Riad...it was like a miniature Alhambra, with arched doorways, carved plaster crown molding, meter-thick walls to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter.  A little palace of 7 bedrooms!  Everything was pure luxury.  My room, if you check out the website, is the blue room, and I love it!  The riad's dining room is open air on the rooftop, surrounded with bougainvillea of different colors.  I hope to get some iPad photos to post tomorrow..
