Morocco is an exotic land. The smell of spices stewing in lamb tangines. The brightly colored scarves that it seems everybody wears. The sticky feel of the midday sun heat against your covered skin.

SherriOct. 9: I write this piece from a plane, flying from Paris to Lisbon. It’s about a two hour flight and, knowing an entire other country and culture awaits us when we land, we have to make the most of our time for blogging. But let me go back to yesterday morning.

SherriI am sitting at Calendal, a cute little hotel in Arles, a modest sized town in Provence, only miles from the Mediterranean Sea.
We woke up in Gordes and not that it mattered much, because we were checking out anyway, but there was no electricity in our home.

SherriCalendal remains an endearing place to call home for a few days – close to the action, yet quiet enough, to simply sit and comfortably reflect about my days.
We started off our day heading downstairs to the spa. The hotel receptionist led us outside and downstairs into the special area.
