Merry Christmas one and all! :-) !

Music and Magic!

We will never stop smiling! 

Tonight the Riads celebrated Christmas Moroccan-style. Though we knew I wouldn't be able to be a part of the Dinner and Traditional Music celebrations it was wonderful just knowing that two doors away the magic of Christmas was truly beginning...

And then all of a sudden it wasn’t two doors away. It was in our garden and I was so much a part of it that it that it made me cry - and laugh - and cry again! At first the noises were indistinct: the sound of shuffling feet; the scraping of chairs; a bump and a twang; a stifled cough.  An almost tangible sense of anticipation hung in the air.  Our little terrace was becoming a concert hall. Then, just the other side of our drawn curtains, the most wonderfully chaotic group of musicians began to play! 

Dear, dear Monika, initially our host and now our friend, cared that the magic touched us too. She doesn't know it yet but the magic she has made for us will last a

lifetime...

Monika

Encore!!
