The first movie I saw him in was A Room with a View. He then starred in a series of wonderful movies, like My Left Foot, The Last […]

Wanderlust Wednesday: Morocco

Last year, I {finally} watched Casablanca. {What took me so long? I don’t know!} This classic movie takes place in Casablanca, which is the largest city in the North African country of Morocco. If you look up photos of Morocco on Pinterest, you’ll see dozens upon dozens of photos of beautiful doorways, colorful markets, and stunning hidden gems like cool surf spots, beaches, mosques, and gardens. The Le Riad Yasmine {pictured below}, has a picturesque garden and private pool area. This boutique-hotel is charming and homelike, featuring seven traditional “Moorish rooms and suites of refined architectural beauty down to the […]
