Agyad Residence Agadir

... I liked having what I called 'yoga dance party' in the afternoon when I would cue up the beats in the Yoga Shala and enter the matless universe. When yoga retreats weren't happening I offered drop-in classes and I reveled in having 'yoga virgins' come to me where I could love them up with all the sweetness yoga brings.

--Surfing! Swell, swell and more swell! This was where I was ...

So I dropped off the map for a bit...I finished up an amazing trip in Indonesia early May.  Being in Bali was such a profound and special experience for me, but I'll write more about that another time when I update photos from the rest of the trip.

But now it's Morocco!  I hopped to NY for a few days (after a fun day trip to Taiwan to get my bubble tea fix) )before heading here to accept a job teaching yoga ...

Located outside of the medina, but not more than 10 minutes from shops and 25 km from the international Airport, Sofitel Agadir is a gorgeous place to stay while in Morocco. This grand five star hotel holds 273 rooms including family sized suites! The Kasbah style architecture combined with the elegant and exotic décor make this hotel a genuine beauty you'll never want to step outside ...

After a long sleep, I woke up fresh as a newborn=)

This day was a day when I decided to finally buy unbought souvenirs and presents. The first thing in my plans was a Confiserie where I could bought great morroccan pastry as a present=) It's Incredible... We walked the streets of Agadir to get to the La Fontaine Place where the Patiserie was situated... The city lives a very interesting life, non-familiar to us ...

... be returned to you by the end of staying here). Unfortunately, it's not green=( But the hotel itself is cool.

... robes and tunics for men and vails and tunics for women. Con: Seeing that despite the well preserved culture and history of the area, plastic sacks (grocery bags) had permeated life here and had created one of the worst littering problems we have ever seen. Everywhere, hundreds of plastic sacks blowing around the landscape like tumbleweeds. Very sad.... Pro: Seeing the beauty of the beaches of the town of ...

It had snowed quite a bit overnight, just not enough to make a mess out of the city, which I greatly appreciated for going to the airport again. 11 days in Germany, enough to do my laundry, recharge my batteries and swap guidebooks. I was happy to escape all those Christmas songs that were now playing non-stop on the radio. Three hours and twenty minutes flying time and I found myself in Agadir ...

... village, and we were heading down into a pit of gathering young kids, as young as 5 or 6; and in our experience- the most vicious variety. As we neared, they prepared and gathered. It's really an odd feeling to fear a posse of 5 year olds. They rushed toward our downhill speeding bikes ruthlessly and several lunged and attached themsemves onto Anna and her panniers without fear. She put the pepper in the pedal strokes and barged through them, later coining the term 'Bowling Kids ...

... realised soliciting tourists was a lot more tiring then I had thought. Still I was feeling pretty happy with myself and sent off a mail to a Peruvian with whom I was going to do the Mauritanian border crossing to see if he was ready. My only problem is that having met a guy who worked in the French consulate, he suggested that I pass by for a chat, so the next morning I did and they recommend that I get a visa from Casablanca.

... Modina) for haircut as my hair looked horrid in the mirror. Walked around for a while to get a feel for the area, the air smells of bad drains and there were a lot of dead locusts lying on the roads and pavements. It's good to see there is no litter on the streets. Went back to the hotel and booked day trips: Agadir City tour this afternoon, Marrakesh on Wednesday and Essaouira (Mogador) on Friday. Ordered lunch but it arrived late so only managed part of it on account of the ...
